There's no better way to start a new week than with a new blog. I had a wonderful weekend with brothers Chris and John. Saturday we headed out to D.C. and cruised the mall for a bit. We started the day at the Asian American Museum of art where we viewed an amazing exhibit of the Japanese artist Hokusai. Austin especially loved the zen reflecting pool, note the picture.



After the museum we walked through the gardens and saw a Cherry Blossom tree in bloom, a stunning sight, but only one of the first. I can't imagine how gorgeous it will be when they're all in bloom. We're looking forward to when the trees are in full bloom, hopefully sometime this week. Since we were there on the first day of the famous Cherry Blossom Festival, D.C. was an absolute zoo!
