Brooklyn Botanical Garden - Cherry Blossom Festival

I know it has been way too long since I've posted an update. Between travel and a crashing Internet it's been a busy few weeks.


But it did give the Tim Gunn post time to bask in the limelight of a BPR link (nicely done Melissa).

We spent most of Saturday (April 29th) in Brooklyn with Gordy and Linda. The outing started with the Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Cherry Blossom Festival.

Most of the trees were just starting to bloom -with a few in full bloom. The vibrant shades of pinks were so beautiful. The Japanese style garden was well suited for the cherry trees.

The conservatory held an impressive display of Bonsai trees. Some of them were over 100 years old!

The garden also had tulips blooming in every color of the rainbow.

We spent some time at a local bar catching up with the NFL draft. We had our own little t.v., lots of fried food, and plenty of football commentary provided by the team of McGuire and Waldron.

The day ended with movies at the Tribeca Film Festival - but you'll have to wait for the details on a future blog update.
