Upon our arrival in DC, Brandon met us at the airport and gave us a quick tour of Alexandria, VA, a suburb outside of the city while we waited for Heather to get ready. :) Seeing Heather was awesome. We've been friends since I was 16 and she is one of the few friends that I have kept up with over the years. Her friendship is something that I really treasure and I knew it was going to be a blast spending the next few days
with her and getting to know her husband.
After chatting over cups of teas and exchanging all the "vital" news that couldn't wait, we headed over to the Mall to the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was beautiful!! As soon as we stepped out of the subway, a brilliant blue sky met us and there stood the Washington Monument. It was amazing!
The opening day of the Cherry Blossoms also coincided with the annual kite festival so there were hundreds
of people on the Mall lawn flying kites. It was perfect weather for that. There was a strong breeze so kites bobbed all over.
We followed the trail along the Potamac River. It was so great seeing people out enjoying their city and be able to partake in the festivities!

Excuse me, may I know when you took these photos? I will go to DC this weekend but I am afraid it would be too late since based on your photos, the peak seems over..
We took these this past weekend (3/29-4/2)... the festival started on Saturday and will run through mid April. You'll have a great time!
