Last weekend was the perfect weekend to visit
About a one hour drive from home, the flowering Cherry Blossom Trees were magnificent.
More than 4,000 Cherry Blossom Trees are on display
and fill Branch Brook Park with shade and color.
This display is bigger, more diverse and more colorful than the one in Washington, D.C.
These are Double Blossom Cherry Blossoms
This amazing festival had everything...
Music, live entertainment, crafters, family activities, live animals and plenty of yummy food.
You have to love all the "low calorie" food offered at these festivals.
We shared a "chipstick - potato on a stick"
which is basically a baking potato, sliced - on a stick - then deep fried.
Seasonings are added as soon as it comes out of the deep fryer.
We choose sour cream and chive...
YuM!!
