Cherry blossom season is so fickle. We had planned to go with Chelsea and Will's friends yesterday, thinking that we would dodge the weekend throngs by going on a Monday afternoon. That part of the plan worked out wonderfully, but Sunday night brought serious winds that divested most of the trees of their flowers before we could get to them. (At least we went before today...I'm sure the rain we just got finished the rest.) Anyway, our trip required a little more hunting than usual to find the "poster trees," but we did it.
I'm not sure what's more of a tradition for DCers: trekking to see the cherry blossoms, or griping about the crowds of tourists.
Not having to deal with the increased commuting traffic anymore makes it much easier to be benevolent about the crowds this year, and I was only thinking about the great company, agreeable babies, perfect weather, and lovely trees. I sure do love living here.
