Now that I'm living down here in D.C., I figure I should make some sort of effort to go to the events that draw thousands of people here.
That means I felt obligated to go to this year's Cherry Blossom Festival when a friend invited me.
I didn't go to any of the special events--getting down there and back was enough of a challenge--but I did go, walk around a bit with the thousands of tourists, and take some pictures.
