Go fly a kite!

Beautiful spring day for Washington D.C.'s annual kite flying festival -- one of the many activities organized around the yearly cherry blossoms extravaganza.  

Several thousand people gathered downtown, from the very young to the young at heart and from amateurs to competitors. Walking around meant dodging kite lines and risking being boinked on the head by stray kites when the winds suddenly died.  Good fun all around :)
