I'm pretty sure you can guess that not only was it not empty, but it felt as if the entire D.C.-area population was there by 7 a.m., if not earlier. But after walking 23 minutes from our parking space to the blossoms, we were committed. And really, it was a gorgeous Sunday morning. I brought fruit and donut kabobs to eat. The boys were excited by the surprise trip. Everything was okay in the end.
Rhett was ready to eat the second we were on the tidal basin. Ollie only wanted to eat the donut holes.
A rare shot with no other people in the picture! A cherry blossoms miracle!
The view from the Jefferson Memorial. What is up with Rhett's pose?!
Oh Ollie. When will you learn to look at the camera?
P.S. A friend of mine went that evening at around 6 and apparently it was empty. Next year.
dang those boys are cute! and rhett's pose is awesome.
ReplyDeleteso funny that so many people were up and at it so early. totally wouldn't have thought that, either. crazy.
hopefully next year will be better - but it still looked like a great trip and just so, so, so beautiful!
yeah I'm still shocked that so many people went so early! You still managed to get some good pictures though; great job!
