Cherry Blossom Festival



Lucy and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival today. It was a beautiful day and super-sunny although a bit cool around the Tidal Basin. We took Metro into DC and that was definitely Lucy's favorite part. She loved going in and out of the tunnels and seeing some of her favorite sights via the train tracks. The best part for me: when she played air guitar on the train on the way home. People were laughing just watching her.

She also really liked dancing to the live music, eating lunch on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial and actually going up into the memorial where she asked if I would take her picture in front of the impossibly tall statue of Thomas Jefferson. She, of course, loved the Cherry Blossoms as well and kept telling me they were beautiful. The helicopters flying overhead certainly had her attention as well. That fits with her new dream: to be a pilot.
