Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree?

Nope, it's cherry blossoms blossoming on the cherry trees.

Didn't you know popcorn doesn't grow on apricot trees? Silly kids.

Anyway, the cherry blossoms come to DC every year

and they're a lot of fun to walk around and see with friends.

Just another perk of living in/near the nation's capital.

Julia, Jenna, and Micha: what a bunch of posers hahaha.

We love playing tourist when there's a good reason to do so.

I'm kinda proud of the next couple pics, because I feel like my dad and brother (Pete) - both better scenery photogs than me - would appreciate them.

And now back to people pics, which are more my specialty.

Chillin' at the Tidal Basin and dangling our feet over the water.

Making a spectacle of ourselves.

The girls couldn't get the timing right to all be up at the same time,

but I kinda like the symmetry of these cartwheels more anyway.

Is Paddles the Beaver talking to you? Beware, those teeth are lethal.

Sometimes teaching novices to jump over barriers can end disastrously. "A" for effort, Jenna!

Baby bums are adorable. Admit it.

Until next year, cherry blossoms!
