Hi everyone! Despite the crazy windstorm of this past weekend, Spring is rapidly approaching. I’m looking forward to it as winter blues are a real thing for me. The warmer days, more sunlight, and active activities are all things I’m looking forward to.
Last Spring, I was carrying Baby A. so I wasn’t exactly in the mood to run around and get stuff accomplished. This time, I’m so ready. I’m compiling bucket lists, searching local visitor convention pages, and dusting off my walking shoes. This is going to be great. If you’re equally excited about Spring and are looking for some fun Spring activities, I’ve compiled a list of 40 that are sure to please. Happy hunting!
1. View the Cherry Blossoms. (Washington, DC has an awesome Cherry Blossom Festival. If you aren’t close to the area, view your local visitor’s bureau for spring related festivals in your neck of the woods.)
2. Plant seeds for a garden.
3. Fly a kite. (In parallel to the Cherry Blossom Festival, DC has a really fun and family friendly Blossom Kite Festival that is not to be missed.)
