On the way out we saw Henry Kissinger getting in this SUV. I didn't get my camera out in time to get a photo of his serious face - only the black SUV.

Cherry Blossoms 2007

Cherry Blossoms were the next stop following the Kite festival.

Isaac couldn't take his eyes off the blossoms

Kite Festival 2007

This year the boys actually participated in the Kite Festival.

Daniel loved to fly the kite and the kite only hit one person.

Luckily it only scared them and there were no injuries.

Carousel

After seeing the National Treasure movie set we headed to the Carousel at the Smithsonian Castle .Daniel still talks about the Elephants and Horses from the circus so I thought he would like the mechanical ones. . .

so I thought.

Isaac enjoying some rocks.

The carousel was full of junior high girls that loved to scream. It didn't help the boys adjust to the ride. They wouldn't sit on the horses alone so we all ended up sitting here.

The dragon horse that Daniel still talks about. He has a thing for Dragons -

The empty horses Daniel and Isaac abandoned.
