That sounds like the title for an album doesn't it? Well March 31st was the first official day for the Cherry Blossom Festival and if I had to pick which day they were peak it would have been that day. The very next day the wind started to carry away some blossoms and the little green leaves started to peak through.
People were all around the capitol enjoying the beautiful blossoms and some were even picnicing under the trees. Everyone was smiling and no one seemed in a bad mood.
That day just happend to be Kite Day as well. Talk about an overwhelming feeling of the nation having a picnic together! As you walked out onto the Mall people everywhere were flying kites of all shapes, colors and sizes. Children weren't even required to fly a kite. There were so many that no picture I took could really capture the feeling of seeing and hearing it all. You did have to be careful though as not all kites were staying up in the air! Brian took the role of lookout while I had my eye to the camera. A Nemo fish kite nearly took our heads off at one point, but nothing an I'm sorry and a friendly chuckle couldn't fix.
As Brian loves ships he was excited to see several kites in the shape of ships. The seemed to have a little bit of a hard time getting up but once there it was like looking into a childs dream. All in all a storybook afternoon!!
Glad I could share it with you all.
