One evening the kids and I decided to go check out the cherry blossom trees downtown. Well, it took some convincing the kids but eventually we made it out the door.
After finding parking we walked...and walked...and walked along the river.
It was really pretty and the kids enjoyed running thru the weeping willows.
Andrew fell thru one of the gigantic holes in the sidewalk. Ty found a stick to swing around. Alli was bouncing from one tree to another. Lyla was fast asleep in her pack. Me...I was counting kids making sure no one took an unexpected swim in the Potomac!
After our walk we caught a bus (a short bus ride) that took us to the Jefferson Memorial.
I found 3 blind mice hiding on the steps of the monument!
The view from the Jefferson Memorial.
It was beautiful. The kids had fun running around and I had fun sitting on the steps soaking up the evening sunshine. We even managed to catch a bus ride all the way back to our car!! I think everyone was glad we made it to see the beautiful cherry blossoms!
See! Don't they look happy!
