Cherry Blossom Festival: It Begins

 The Cherry Blossom Festival has just begun. We went into DC on Saturday to enjoy the activities at the Building Museum. Jack's favorite was making a cherry blossom out of balloons. As hard as I tried to convince him to pick another color, he could see the pictures of the cherry blossoms, and he wanted to make a pink flower. He picked out all of the balloons himself.



And to go along with the cherry balloons, there was this.....creature.....
Jack found him to be a bit intimidating. He kept calling it a bug. 


Then we got to decorate a decal for the van that they had on display. Jack loved the van so much. He just climbed into the back seat and sat down. It was really hard to convince him to climb out of the van, and as soon as we would walk away, he would start running back to it. As we left the museum he kept saying "bye car."


We did quite a bit of walking and Jack enjoyed the Navy fountains. He found a few kids to play with while we were there. And a fancy salad restaurant gave us some samples of their salads. Very delicious. 




And then we visited the botanical gardens because it is orchid season again! Jack loved their new fountain. It plays music and shoots colorful streams of water.
