Cherry Blossom Fever

This weekend was a reprieve from the boring, cold, miserable weather that we Virginians have experience for the last 6 months. After the rain clouds lifted on Saturday afternoon, the F and I meet up with Jenny S. for a sit on the National Mall. We watched the kite festival as we waited for one of Jenny's friend's, Maria, to show up. We nearly got clipped in the head by some low flying kites flown by tots. Fortunately (for them cuz I would have so kicked their ass) no collisions occurred. Once Maria joined us, we strolled over to the Tidal Basin and observed the cherry blossoms and the sun setting. Four hours after we left the Tidal Basin someone jumped into it and drowned. Freakish, and sad. After leaving DC we had some Mexican dinner in Shirlington where we were joined by another of Jenny's friends, Cathy.

Sunday we drove back into DC. This time the National Gardens for some engagement photos with our wedding photographer. This was followed by a nice leisurely drive home in DC traffic. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. It was nice and warm outside and the sun roof was open. Who could ask for more?
