paddle boats aren’t THAT lame!!


Sunday April 01, 2007   


We got to take a lovely early morning paddle boat ride today and view the cherry blossoms! I’m SO happy we went early this morning. We had a huge full day sans most of the crowds! There wasn’t even a line!! But when we left… OMG the line was INSANE! We enjoyed the blossoms, then the kite festival, then the art museum, then a delicious restaurant & some light shopping. Then came home & I passed out for 3 hours. It’s late so no more text, just photos…

    It’s absolutely lovely there at this time of the year! I know, because I went down to the lincoln memorial area and wherever the pointy tower was (I forgot what it was called–some sort of memorial) during the spring when I was quite little with my parents. I remember the area was windy, but gorgeous, and I got water in my shoes/socks because it was high tide.

  8. Yingna says:

    Wow…I just realized you were Caucasian. I always thought you were Japanese. In your last entry, that photo LOOKED Asian…this is like a revelation for me.

  9. Tiff says:

    Lol well fine! Tell me how happy you are viewing cherry blossoms on paddle boats and then show pictorial proof about it! I am not jealous at all :P.

    I’ve always heard that the cherry blossom at D.C. is gorgeous! Glad you had a fun day enjoying the nice weather, the scenery, and the boat ride. The pictures are lovely!

  14. Sara says:

    There are blossoms on H street here, at the end of my neighborhood and they bloomed early. :3 They were so pretty. There was so much white. It looked almost like snow but you could tell it was really flowers.

    Paddle Boats are so fun. xD Well I mean they look fun, you can rent them at the harbor here but I’m so skittish about getting on boats and stuff so I’d probably never rent one. x_O

  15. emi says:

    oh they look so prettier than the ones over here… it’s so grey outside, the sakura look grey as well…
    i’m glad you enjoyed your sunday! xoxo

    Awww… this would’ve been the weekend I was going to visit, if only Matt could have taken the time off and not have to drop down money on a new A/C unit! :(

    I am glad you got to go, though! Looks like a lot of fun! I did find out there is a festival south of ATL, so I’m gonna visit that next year ^_^

    Early Birthday presents are THE. BEST!!!
