Yea for Aunt Debbie.

We had a great day downtown with Jeff's sister, Debbie, who came from Seattle to give us a visit. We loved showing her and Claire the love we have for this city.

We ate at the Museum of the Native American, what a shocker! It was yummy and I am hoping Debbie can figure out how to reproduce my favorite wild rice salad.

We went the Jefferson Memorial to see the Cherry Blossoms on the Tidal
Basin. I am so glad we did, because in a few more days they may have blown away.

They had wishing trees, where you could write your wish and tie it on.
Annie Kate:
I want to be so, so, so rich and have 3 wishes
Oh my what am I teaching her?

Caroline:
I wish I was a princess.
ok now that is better.It was like snowing pink with the wind blowing!

Debbie and I went to the FDR Memorial. I had never walked the whole thing and it was awesome. This was my favorite quote that got me a little choked up.

Oh Kristi I love your snowing pink pic. Cute quotes by the girls too! I mailed a package to you yesterday. I got a deal on a book that I just couldn't resist for your little "Linderella." Should be there soon. I know I am spoiling the surprise but oh well!

These are great pictures! I also love that FDR quote...something we could all live by.

The girls' wishes are gorgeous. AK's is funny. Wonder what she thinks 'being rich' entails?
I love 'interactive' things like that.

Do Jeff and Debbie both have dimply cheeks? LOL! I'm glad they got time to spend together. He looks v.protective of her.

Oh, I forgot to ask...did you tie a wish on the tree, Kristi?

everything pink! said...

The wishing tree is very cool.

I love cherry blossoms.

That quote is very inspiring, and I think sums up what your family is doing in your downtown ward.

The cherry blossom pictures are stunning. What a great time to be in D.C.

I love the idea of a wish tree, and I love seeing the girls' wishes. So cute.

I really don't know what I love more, the cherry blossoms, the wish trees, or that quote! Thanks for sharing all of them. I bet there are some tender tender wishes to be read on those trees.

I got a little choked up over that saying too. Wonderful words of wisdom.

You should take advantage of the free concerts and performances at the Tidal Basin (thanks Target for adding one more great thing to already stunning cherry blossoms). My husband used to perform there (when we lived there). It is such a good time. Enjoy the cherry blossoms for us--we (mostly me) miss them so much!
