Predicted peak bloom period is April 3-April 9. I am hoping to get out on the 7th. Maybe the weekend before(but I would like to try to avoid the weekend). So, anyone else going?

Maureen Souza's going to be in town from the 27th through the 30th, so a bunch of us are meeting up down there on the 27th. Suzy's talking about going down another day the next week; I don't know about anyone else positively planning to go down that week, but DoodleBunz might be considering it.

I went on friday and there was no cherry blossoms that were still peaking. It was still a nice walk along the water basin though.
