Cherry Blossoms

Well I'm about 2 weeks late, but here are some pictures of the Cherry Blossoms in DC! 

They were a gift from Japan in 1912 and 1965 and only bloom for a week every year. There is always a Cherry Blossom Festival with a lot of activities and a Parade (which I danced in, in 6th grade!!). It's a great time to be a tourist in the city! haha 

Cherry Blossom 10-miler

My roommate's boyfriend ran in the Cherry Blossom 10-miler last weekend. (The boyf was signed up too, but couldn't due to his back injury in Park City.) So we went and cheered him and over 15,000 runners on. It was a perfect day in DC! I'm really glad we went and experienced this (and ate delicious hot dogs for breakfast). 

And Dave did SO well! He was right behind the pack of completely jacked runners. We watched him run by at the 5 mile mark, and saw him cross the finish line! Here he is with my roommate (in the tie-dye shirt we made her for her birthday!!) He finished in about 1 hour and 10 minutes, great job Dave!!!
