I took a vacation. To Washington, D.C. and Nashville, TN. I blogged about it so I'm going to point at that rather than write the usual "I was up to this" description that I usually post.
-------------------
We decided to continue past the National Museum of American History (America's Attic as Paul called it) since it was closed for renovations and head over towards the Tidal Basin to see if there were any blossoms left on the Cherry Trees.
It had rained and been rather windy on Friday night and the Park Service had been predicting an early blossom season this year so we didn't have a lot of hope for blossoms, but the day was beautiful and we got some good shots on the walk over.

Most of the blossoms had indeed blown away, but the trees were still very pretty with the greenery and the vivid blue sky and nice clouds.
We found a pagoda, presumably to celebrate the Japanese heritage of the trees.
