Washington DC Cherry Blossoms

[Oldgator73]

Drove to DC yesterday to see the cherry blossoms. They peaked on the 17th which was early. Lots of folks there. We had lunch at Old Ebbits Grill. It was very good but also expensive. The handsome young man in the photo is our grandson. We took him out of school to go with us. We toured the African American museum. We didn’t need a ticket or reservation since I’m a veteran.

It was cold at first. We got there about 1030 and it was windy and cold. We walked around to the Jefferson Memorial where the wind was blocked.
He’s a good kid. His parents don’t do much with him and his sister so we take them with us much as possible.

We lived in DC four years and I really enjoyed going to see those trees every year. They are amazing for sure.
Your grandson will remember them forever. I think it's really good to take kids places like you have.

We try to make the trips educational. Next year it will be Nova Scotia, Iceland, Ireland and other parts of Northern Europe.

I homeschooled my kiddo and we traveled extensively using various modes of travel. Sailing was the best. It was always better to go see it than read about it!

They're lucky to have such good grandparents.
