Cherry Blossom Festival

We made a quick, rather unexpected, trip up to the cherry blossom festival in Washington D.C. These cherry trees were a gift from the Japanese and are supposedly amazingly beautiful when they bloom. We didn't get to see them because we were told that they weren't in bloom by the time we made it up there and we were short on time.


Mariah loved the parade, especailly the big balloon characters.


There were some really neat Japanese dancers and drummers.

The Cherry tree royalty




This was my favorite, the highty tighty band, they were probably the best ones there, but I just loved the name.
