This year I've been waiting for the go-ahead from the Cherry Blossom Festival Bloom Watch folks. I want to go down early one morning, before all of the crowds, and show Oliver the beauty of the bloom. Ever since Jess and I spent an unexpected early March morning downtown amidst the trees, that's how I prefer to see the cherry blossoms, with practically no one else around.Here's a photo of us enjoying the bloom three years ago. Do we look three years younger? Probably. But it sure doesn't feel like I'm three years older.
i'd love to see the famous cherry blossoms of DC someday. getting there early to aviod the crowds is a brilliant idea. it's kind of like going to the BBQ Fest (here in Reno) for lunch on the very first day... no crowds, plenty of BBQ.
