DC in Bloom

We made it out to Washington DC to catch cherry blossoms in their peak season on Saturday. Despite the crazy windy weather and a large amounts of crowd, the trip was well worth it after seeing how much delighted Amelia was. This was Brian, Amelia and Richard's first time seeing the cherry blossoms, and third time for Grace and I. Only gripes we had during the wonderful day was 1. the wind which made it oh so cold and 2. a very long line in front of all the women's bathroom in five mile radius of the cherry blossoms. I frequently get philosophical and resent being a woman when I have to stand in one of those bathroom lines. But cherry blossoms were beautiful and let us know that spring in DC is indeed here, even though it's a bit chillier and windier than usual.

There were so many shutter bugs out there taking beautiful pics of the blossoms. Their pseudo-professional lens kit made me look like I was carrying a small snapshot camera. At first I felt shy taking pics next to them, but after 20 frames into my shots, I started getting bold and pushing people out of the way to get the good shots. I think my photography hobby is making me even more ballsier.
