Kite Flying Festival

 Last Saturday, we headed down to the National Mall and enjoyed the Kite Flying Festival.  It is part of the month long Cherry Blossom Celebration..even though the Cherry Blossoms have already finished blooming:) When we first arrived, the wind was less than desirable so we didn't really see many kites.  As the day went on, the wind picked up and the sky looked amazing.  As usual, my pictures didn't capture how cool it looked. 

 We then headed down to the World War 11 Memorial so Samuel could see the fountains.  Here you can see Lincoln in the distance. 

Now that Spring has arrived, our front and back yard have just exploded with blooms.  One of my favorite things about living here is all of the blooming trees.  Every single yard has blooming trees and many have azaleas.  We moved here in the winter so we had no clue what Spring would bring.  It has been a pleasant surprise!  We have 3 dogwoods, about 20 azaleas, many hydrangeas which are just beginning to grow, and another pink tree that I'm unsure of the name.  I just decided to capture some of them yesterday!

And...just a sweet picture of Mac...enjoying the Sun!
