Cherry blossom festival



The National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade along Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th streets, NW was fun. It had the best weather ever since I moved to DC in 2000. There were giant colorful helium balloons, elaborate floats, marching bands from across the country, and I saw pop star Aaron Carter lip-sung. A few people told me that they liked my kimono, and at least two asked me to post for them for photos.

It was a pity that  Sakura Matsuri – Japanese Street Festival started charging for $10 admission this year, so I skipped it. I was a volunteer one year, so I knew it pretty well.
