“Every year your uncle and I take a trip down to see the cherry blossoms. What’s not to love?”Aunt Linda Beecher, our mother’s sister, is a big fan of the nation’s capital–and its main horticultural attraction.
“So we have to fight rush hour traffic in the morning on I-95 to get there. So what? We go straight to the Jefferson Memorial, and we walk around for about three hours. I mean, there are just so many of them to see
“Then we grab a snack off a cart, and head over to the Washington Monument for a couple of hours. That big ol’ thing has to be the most interesting of all obelisks. It’s certainly my favorite. I mean, it just screams “George Washington,’ right?
“And then comes my favorite part of the trip–driving back home on I-95 during rush hour again. It’s such a nice wrap-up to a great big day of pink.” Uncle Larry doesn’t seem quite as excited.
“She can stare at all the pink trees she wants. I’ll be bringing a couple of friends with me, and their names are Jim Beam and Camel.”
