Cherry blossoms and eating out

Patrick and his coworkers braved the heat yesterday (almost 90!) to venture down to the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms in peak bloom.  It's one of the nice treats of living and working near the district, and spending quality time out of the office with his extended family never hurts.

We listed our home late yesterday afternoon - hooray - and we had our first showing less than 20 minutes later.  So we packed everyone in the car and headed out for what turned into a picnic at the park near our home.  The kids thought it was the best, even if we knew that we just threw it all together last-minute.  Plus, they got to play in the playground right after dinner which was a treat.

Tonight was another showing so we packed up again and headed off to McDonalds (why does everyone want to see a house at dinnertime?).  Surprisingly, the girls really wanted to sit in the high-chairs there, but they were eating like crazy so that's fine.

We'll keep you posted, but our guess is that we won't be eating out too many more days before the house is sold...
