Cherry Blossoms 2010







The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom in Japan this weekend! They are breathtaking! To enjoy them today, we went on a walk along the river with some friends. Madelyn drew quite the crowd. Every step we took someone was stopping to say "kawaii" (which means cute in Japanese). The Japanese locals took several pictures of Madelyn with the cherry blossoms and wanted to talk to her and squeeze her cheeks. The Japanese sure do know how to enjoy themselves and throw a great picnic. Everywhere you looked they were out with their families and friends sitting on blankets and grilling meat and veggies, drinking beer and sake, and taking pictures of the beautiful cherry blossoms!
