tourism

i hadn't been to see the cherry blossoms in years, and i won't be able to see them again in years, so i thought i'd make a trip today. too bad that most everyone i know is working during normal daytime hours. so i went alone. also too bad that the rains and winds have really torn off all the delicate cherry blossoms and thrown them in the tidal basin. here i am posing in front of the only branch that held on to those petals tight. it was a prime photo opportunity for many. i had to really elbow my way through the other tourists to get this shot.

here's a nice one of the jefferson memorial. note the paddleboat in front. i don't know why, but the springling of the paddleboats all over the water was really lovely to me.


these were photos from inside the jefferson memorial. i liked the ceiling, the quotes on the walls, and how jefferson was like SO tall.

The paddleboat! Fun memories of paddling around, dying of thirst, staring at all that water, wishing ... hoping ... :P

Glad you were able to see them. Wish I could've been with you to see them! Dratted work.
