Cherry blossoms 100th anniversary

We took off to have a picnic on the tidal basin by the Jefferson and MLK Jr. memorials last Sunday in nearly perfect spring weather even though it was still winter until today. Keith and I had a great time and after eating Mom's home made fried chicken and some delicious potato salad with chocolate dipped coconut macaroons for desert we walked till we were ready to drop around the water under the trees with all the zillions of visitors. The only draw back about these beautiful blooms is the air around them is chock full of misery making pollen that smothers the allergic guys walking under them. It still was fun to go and see and share the photos.
