Spring!  It may have been cold and overcast yesterday here in DC, but it’s officially spring and I couldn’t be happier to finally say goodbye to winter.  Also excited for the official start of spring?  The cherry blossom trees!  They literally burst into bloom overnight a couple days ago, just in time for the official Cherry Blossom Festival that starts next week.  I couldn’t resist the opportunity to bask in the glow of my favorite pale pink blossoms before the huge tourist crowds get here, so my mom and I went down for quick a walk around the the Tidal Basin.

It’s amazing how these tiny little blossoms can make me so happy, and this even before the lilacs and peonies start to bloom!  Can you tell that spring is my favorite season of the year?
