Spring has sprung

Spring has finally come to San Francisco. The endless days of rain have gone and the cherry blossoms have bloomed.

Cherry blossoms by the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park...




On Sunday, my hubby and I went to the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown. He hates crowded events but was a good sport considering the festival was packed since it was the last day and the day of the grand parade.

It was cute seeing little Asian kids dressed in kimonos. What was not so cute was seeing white women dressed in cheap kimonos. I wish I had taken some cute/not cute photos to post.

Always fun is checking out the vendor booths, such as the Blacklava one. Had to laugh at seeing this t-shirt and this one ... oh and this one, too. YES!

Also cool were the origami and paper doll exhibits ...
