After the bitter diatribe I had with the Easter Egg Roll, one might think that I would give up on the whole DC Events thing. Not so. Luckily there are a few events that don't require sheer insanity to participate in. Saturday morning, we took the family down to see the Cherry Blossoms. The area is bursting with spring time and we happened to catch a good view of all the flowers along with several thousands of people. The weather was a bit chilly and the Tidal Basin was cleverly fenced to avoid possible calamity with the rising tide flowing onto the sidewalks. It took a lot of convincing to keep the kids from picking all the flowers so as to leave it beautiful for the rest of the festival. I just wish we could have been on bikes to enjoy in style.
As a side bonus, the kids enjoyed all the various forms of transportation DC offers especially all the plains landing at the very near by National Airport. Tiago pretended to be an airplane with fire shooting out of his knees for the rest of the day. (I must tell you that the original flame shooting body part of choice was his bottom, but I suggested that two knees were much better then one bottom.)

Great Pictures and excellent suggestion Mom about 2 being better than 1. Those beautiful blossoms could help you forget the "egg thing" that rolled away. You look great for an "any day this little girl will pop out" momma-to-be.
Sometimes flames come out of my bottom. :{
Beautiful pictures!!! We went on Sunday morning to see the blossoms and we got very wet from the rain and did not walk around too much but we still had fun. Our favorite part was the pettals on the ground that looked like pink snow.
Wow!
I can smell that picture.
Gorgeous!
Rachelle, after being a den mother, you MUST know what will inevitably happen to our sweet and precious boys--the stage of bodily function humor.
Remember Tiago at this sweet and innocent age!
By the way--where did your belly go?
Everything looks so pretty all in bloom. Sounds like a fun family activity.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats guys! I heard about the great adventure you had to the hospital. We're so happy for you.
Wait...Did you have the baby? You don't possibly look "ripe" enough in that cherry blossom picture. Can't wait to hear. And after Tami's comment, we need details! Of course you can take a little break from blogging. I'll let you.
Well based on these comments...CONGRATS!!! Cant wait to read about it and see some pics! Hope everything went well, we are soo excited for you all and cant wait to have you as fellow Texans soon!
I love your pictures! I'm so jealous you got to go to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms. They look incredible. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. My sister-in-law told me you had the baby sometime last week. Hurray, if your anything like me, you can finally breathe again. I can't wait to meet her. See you soon!
P.S. Thanks for the advice about deleting those messages on my blog. Hopefully they'll stop posting them. Thanks again!
