Today we met Linda, Jordan, and the kids at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Apparently this is a big deal, but we did not figure that out until it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to travel 1.5 miles and park. The trees are at their peak and they had a lot of Japanese performers there. The place was an absolute mob scene. Jordan said that garden is usually pretty empty. There were people all over the grass that was roped off with signs saying, "stay off the grass; recently re-seeded". There were adults carving initials into trees, and kids climbing trees that looked like the branches were about to fall off under their weight! The garden was really beatiful, so we will have to go back when it is calmer.
