Bloomin' Young'ns
Ainsley and her friend Toni picked a perfectly blue, 60-degree day to go see this year's infestation of cherry blossoms around the tidal basin and 10K finish line. Not sure the kids appreciated the beauty of it all, but they enjoyed getting out and about and seeing a dead fish and petting a horse and eating hummus-dunked cucumbers by the Jefferson Memorial and playing chasey chase with sticks until Mommies said no sticks.
Zonked kids napt past 4:30, when Dad came over to give the dogs a break from the backyard; because there were so many people up in DC and we had to park a bit far away from the trees, we decided not to have Ryan drive around in his plastic tricycle (he calls a "motorcycle") as planned, so I decided to let him try it out on the walk to the park with the four dogs and Erin in a wagon. We're quite the Motley bunch trying to get up Pocomoke unscathed. Also didn't consider how hilly Rollingwood Drive is, so I ended up carrying his bike half the time anyway. So with that and having Ryan on my shoulders the whole way back to the car in the morning, I pronounced that this weekend would be a Double Hot-Tub Weekend.
Makes one a happily stewed dude.
