Today Jason took the day off and we beat the crowds at the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was very gray and nasty though so we didn't take many pictures. We packed a lunch from Whole Foods and had a good time. Will got lots of compliments and was very interested in climbing steps. He met 2 doggies and the horse which he warmed up to right away. The day ended with a scary trip to the ER. Will fell in the tub tonight and bit through his lower lip. Thankfully it didn't need stitches and we only spent about an hour at the hospital. So scary! I hope this doesn't start a trend of ER visits, but he is so accident prone lately!

One year later: A young American still looks forward to a bright future in out nations capital, despite the current economic situation.
