Kite Flying

When we came back from our Saturday outing, we took the "wrong" exit home and ended up on Constitution Avenue. As it is still Cherry Blossom Festival and Spring Break, the streets are ridiculously busy and there are hordes of visitors. If we had not gone this way, we probably would have missed the kite festival that is going on beneath the Washington Monument. There were as many kites as visitors it seemed. And the traffic was moving so slow, I was able to get a few pictures in between the parade stands, the porto potties, and buses parked along the route. There is always something going on in the neighborhood, and it is all free. It is my understanding that a lot of people will be off next week from work- wish I could say I was one of them.
We liked this one the most
These folks see the White House right across the street

Very colorful- and no rain

The best seat in the house
