Sigo Journeys-- Where to Next?

Another last minute trip. Purdue made it to the 2nd round, after beating Baylor. It was a bittersweet victory, since E’s friend Marc was rooting for Baylor. Marc & Kristy are shown in the 7/07 trip to Chicago. And you will see them in 5/08 when we are headed to San Diego with them. It was a great reason to go back to DC. We were here in 2006 on our baseball tour of Cleveland, Philly, Pittsburgh and DC.
This just happened to be the weekend right before the Cherry Blossom Festival. The blooming of the cherry trees around the Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin signal the coming of Spring. The famous trees were a gift from Japan in 1912. Unfortunately, I am not Horticulturalist Robert DeFeo, so exactly when the buds will open is not easily predictable. Even though we were there the weekend before the festival, the blossoms were still not fully bloomed. It is supposed to be spectacular sight.

Purdue was playing Ohio State. It was a decent game and a nailbiter till the finish. Unfortunately, Purdue lost.
