I was suppperrrr jet lagged when we came back from Japan. I’d wake up around 4a everyday not knowing what to do. Usually I’d just lay in bed for a few hours hoping to fall back to sleep but one morning I decided to get up and check out the scene at the tidal basin. The cherry blossoms were peaking while we were gone, so I’m glad to have captured just the last bit of them before they all went away.
Visiting Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden on a rainy day isn’t too bad if you have an umbrella. There are barely any people and its like you have the whole place to yourself. It’s a great time to throw the umbrella and run around the place with your hands in the air like Phoebe from Friends.
Shinjuku Gyoen park is the perfect place to view the cherry blossoms. The first time we tried to go, it was closed. We only had an hour the second time we went. And this was taken on the third attempt. But somehow we’d still get lost whenever we tried to go. I’d put it into our GPS and Shinjuku Gyoen sounded like Shinjuku”jail”. I was startled me every time I heard it.
I heard the cherry blossoms will be peaking soon in DC! Wishing everyone back home beautiful light and new fun experiences <3
So yesterday Park Services moved up their cherry blossom peak prediction to the end of March. With the super warm weather we’ve been having I’m not surprised. It makes me a little sad that I may not be here for the cherry blossoms in DC but it looks like we’ll be right on time for the cherry blossoms in Tokyo!! I can’t wait to check out the real deal in Japan! It’s been on my vision board for over a year and it’s actually happening. Less than 2 weeks til our trip 😀
Ok it’s March now. Does that mean it’s spring?
