She tried her hand at paddle-boating, an activity that is available
right at the Tidal Basin
where the blossoms are. Mom likes the dark pink blossoms that
are
in the tree in the
background.

Here they are with the Washington Monument in the background.
The
kids and I were in a separate four-person boat. Look at that
brilliant
cloudless sky.

We went there just after daybreak and found a good spot for the
car. We then had
breakfast with some hot coffee and hot chocolate. It was a
real
great time, and the
weather was perfect.

Most of the blossoms are light pink, with a few dark pink
ones.
The latter ones are Mom's favorite.

This was Mom's favorite tree

We also enjoyed some nice meals together such as this feast of Maryland
Blue Crabs.
Freshly steamed at home. Yumm!

Another seafood dinner : steamboat.
