It's not quite spring, but close enough. Spring in D.C. is one of my favorite things. A few of our favorite activities are coming up.
The Smithsonian Kite Festival is happening on Saturday, March 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Washington Monument. The atmosphere here is always so carefree and fun...how can you not be happy while flying a kite? There is an actual competition, but many people just show up to fly their own kites for fun. Click here for more information.
And of course, the Cherry Blossom Festival. For a complete list of all of the events, click here. Last year, we really enjoyed attending the fireworks at the end of the festival. This year, they are at the beginning of the festival on Saturday, April 3 at the Southwest Waterfront. We watched them from Hains Point and there were hardly any people there. It's a great display.
Another great place to see blossoms is the National Arboretum.
Sarah, we are here now and I'm going to be checking this blog for fun things to do. So I clicked on the link from your family blog and it went to another website - dcinsideandout.com or something, but I got here through your craft blog. It is just missing the blogspot part of it. At any rate, thank you so much for posting your adventures so we can repeat them. I never followed up with you to let you know that we rented a little house in Arlington. If you want to do the Mt. Vernon trail again let us know. The weather is perfect for it now!
