Spring in DC


Went out to the cherry blossom festival again today, it was amazing! I think this was my favorite picture I took. Jefferson silhouetted watching out over the festival-goers...

It is really cool that every one of those trees was a gift from the people of Japan. I think back to the days when countries gave each other gifts like that, like the Statue of Liberty. Pretty cool stuff...

yeah, maybe we should start giving cool gifts again. like, china gave us a panda, right?

MJB said...

Um, no, we pay over $1 million for each panda we have. And they are on loan, they arn't ours...

China doesn't give us gifts.

China is waiting for that perfect moment to give us it's really special gift....

Reagan and the Mexican Pres exchanged horses one year. They rode them together. No one was cooler than Reagan on a horse.

Except him.

But anyway, I understand that we give each other gifts all the time. Is that not so?
