nary a blossom

cold rain and blustery wind greeted ann and dabney in dc. as a result, not a blossom blossomed, though the buds were raring to go. all the trees looked like this.



still, dc had much to offer. hundreds of people showed up on the mall on saturday to fly their kites. children holding the strings were practically airborn from the gale force winds. needless to say, the kite doctor on hand was a very popular guy. julia child's kitchen was on display for all to see at the smithsonian museum of american history. adams morgan and u street neighborhoods made for some fun wandering, namely such stylish stores as nana, go mama go! and pop. to top it off, ann and dabney enjoyed more than one cupcake from the love cafe.

ann and dabney were also happy to spend time with dear friends: jenbrown, michelle, rana, brianna, maisley and william.
