Cherry Blossom Festival

Planning a day-trip, a ride in the car making it happen, let me tell you, that felt awesome.
I first wrote about our recent trip to the Cherry Blossom Festival on Friday.
You can see that entry and the first half of the pictures here.
Today I am sharing the rest of the pictures I took.
The trees were at peak bloom, I don't think they could have looked better.

It was a gorgeous spring day...
you will see how blue the sky was in the pictures, 
the full sun was a welcome sight and the temperature was perfect, 
there was a slight, welcome breeze.

If you were to describe the ideal day, this would be it!













There was a path around parts of the park that you could drive around,
the view from that path was stunning.
What I love about these Cherry Blossoms are the colors...
both pink and white, 
you would have to see this park in order to appreciate just how beautiful the trees are.

We stayed outdoors and masks were required, 
everyone was wearing one so we felt completely safe.
We only removed ours for pictures.

We had so much fun, I want to go back, just to feel it all again.

Oh wow! How amazing. It's one of those places you could spend all day, sitting under a tree with a good book and a thermos of coffee ♥

It does look like it was the perfect day, and the trees were all full and lush!! I love them too, there is nothing like a blooming tree, just makes this girl happy. Our tree out back didn't last long with it's blooms, we had such strong winds and rain that it knocked most of them out.
