The other day, I went with my little sister (through Big Brothers Big Sisters) to the Cherry Blossom Festival in our nation’s capital.  This event is one of those mainstays in DC that folks look forward to attending every year.  We chose a decent day to go, though I was surprised by how cold it was that Saturday.  Thankfully, I’ve been delivered from worrying about what people think about how I look, so I walked down the pathways with my head completely wrapped in my scarf (and stayed warm).  I think the subsequent weekends were filled with rain, so again, we really did pick a great weekend to go and see the blossoms.  And I guess you can say it was my first time really attending the festival, although a couple of years ago, my mom and I went at the end of the celebration and saw the remnants of the blossoms on a few trees.  All in all, it was a beautiful sight to see pink and white cherry blossoms hanging on trees and being carried by wind.

My PSA:  If you ever in town for the festival, I suggest you come and see it!  But don’t be like me and forget your hat, earmuffs and gloves! It’s still cold in April in DC!
