The National Cherry Blossom Festival for DC is a staple springtime event that draws tourists to the city. It's also a reminder of our friendship with Japan. In 1912 they gave us these trees to celebrate our then growing friendship with each other.
Last weekend I had big plans: I was going to fight the swarms of tourists and make my way down to the tidal basin, check out the pillow fight by the National Monument (it was National Pillow Fight Day afterall), dye eggs, and spend quality time with good friends and family.
Check, check, and check.
However, I do need to keep in mind that I have fair skin and should apply sunscreen before going out into the sun. Upon my return home from simply walking down to the tidal basin (ok more like being herded like cattle around the tidal basin) I was red. It was a fun weekend and I'd rather not talk about how putt putting went on Sunday before dinner. No no, it's ok I'll share...out of 4 people 3 got hole's in one....I was not one of those 3 people. But that's alright, there will be a rematch and a trophy will be involved. I have learned from my mistakes in the past, so I'm NOT going to have my name engraved on it, just because when I get cocky like that I inevitably lose. It may have happened before...more than once.
