We Survived Some Trees

It's true: we survived the Cherry Blossom Festival! Yep, me and my friends Drew and Alex decided it was worth it "just this one time" to brave the crowds and get a glimpse of the cherry blossoms and the parade. And it was! Especially since they're only in full bloom for about 10 days (why?!?!). I've grown up with cherry trees, but I've never seen so many in one place - they're like a bajillion pink popcorns! It pays to be able to walk to a metro far enough out that you don't have to dodge as many tourists, and if I go again I'm definitely packing my own food and perhaps a (classy) flask. Um, yeah and I'd remember sunblock. Sun in April is a new concept.
