Sakura, Part Two

 [singlepic id=425 w=320 h=240 float=none]

Uncle Dedo & Aunt Holly came down to D.C. this weekend to visit and for the second time in one year, we went to the cherry blossoms in D.C.  This is unprecedented.  Mommy & Daddy just about pulled their hair out trying to find parking, but we managed to find one.  Uncle Dedo & Aunt Holly were forced to buy snacks to get us some quarters to feed the parking meter.

The cherries peaked two days before we went (for the second time) and the weather was a gorgeous 75-degrees.  Needless to say, it was pure mayhem at the Tidal Basin this time.  Anytime there was a picturesque views, there was a line of people trying to take photos there.   We managed to get a few good ones with some team effort.  My stroller had to maneuver through tons of people picnicking on the grass.

I must say, I was happy to be surrounded by so many people who love me and care about me.  Even random strangers were nice enough to compliment me.  One passerby said to me, “Boy, that’s a fat baby,”  which I gladly took as a compliment too!

Thanks for visiting us, Aunt Holly & Uncle Dedo!

Sakura Time!

Auntie Ellie visited me this weekend and what perfect timing — we got to see the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival!

By far, Mommy & Daddy’s favorite D.C. activity during the springtime is seeing the Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin.  Rather than taking the subway, Mommy & Daddy always push their luck and drive into the Mall.  Surprisingly, there always seems to be parking.  The tradition started many years ago when Mommy & Daddy only had Happy as a “child” and took him to see the blossoms.

Then, Mommy & Daddy adopted Bossie and started taking Bossie to see the blossoms.  By then, Happy could no longer walk for long distances, so going to D.C. was no longer an options for him.  Last year, Mommy & Daddy went for the last time as a childless couple when Mommy was pregnant with me.

What a difference a year makes!  Of course, now I am a part of Mommy & Daddy’s life and I got to see the lovely blossoms for the first time.  They are so cool to feel that I accidentally pricked off a flower.  Oops!  My apologies the National Park Service.

Of note, thanks to Aunt Deirdre for giving me this warm fuzzy hat from her trip to Ireland!
