les cerises

a while back i went to the cherry blossom festival with some friends. basically we met for lunch at Ollie’s Trolley, waited like an hour for food, scarfed it down in 15 minutes, then walked over to see the trees. after the trees we walked FOREVER to have some strawberry daiquiris and mexican foods... Pants joined us there and then Pants and i walked all the way to the Mall again, where there was a line to get in the Smithsonian Metro Station, so we walked ALL THE WAY BACK to Capitol South.

we did get seats on the train though, which was good because we were both exhausted at that point.

here’s the photos to prove it all:

i already have a bunch of standard shots of the blossoms, so i got artsy this year.


kunk said “take a picture of me eating the blossoms,” so i did.


boy-kunk enjoys a bite.


pinkies out mean you’re a classy blossom-eater. my friend matt declined to have a blossom-eating photo taken. either he’s a jerk or mature.


i get all georgia o'keefe with the tulips.




we walk over to the museums and i take pikshurs. i like how we’re always smiling, even though deep down inside we want to kill each other. kidding!


Pants is so cute and so sweet! what the heck is he doing with me?


we wait for a train, and in true WMATA style it takes forEVER, so i amuse myself with the digital camera.



it was a really long day.
