This morning after Ava's nap we headed out to see the cherry blossoms, a tradition in DC this time of year. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, 75 degrees and sunny! Thursday was peak bloom downtown and the tidal basin has been swamped with people. We decided since Ava would know the difference going all the way downtown wasn't worth the hassle. I found a neighborhood in Bethesda that all the streets are lined with cherry blossoms, Kenwood. It was perfect. We found a side street in the neighborhood were we could park and we walked around for an hour an took some great pictures. There were probably a couple hundred people instead of the tens of thousands downtown. We then headed to the cheesecake factory in friendship heights to meet Dave and Cara for lunch. Ava was so good. She ate all her cereal, played, and smiled all afternoon. It was a perfect family day!
Ava turned 2 in August. Each day brings new excitement and developments. Stay tuned for all the fun from potty training mishaps to ballet class.
