paddle boats aren’t THAT lame!!

Sunday, 4月/1日 [2007年] // 38 Comments


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.

    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.

    Cherry blossom festival! beautiful. I totally wanted to go, but it looks like it won’t be panning out this year x.x

    Up here the trees are barely even beginning to have buds on them.

    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

    It sounds like you had a really great day. I didn’t know you could find cherry blossom trees that looked so vibrant in America.

    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!!!
