It wasn’t until the last week of April that the weather was finally warm & dry enough for us to go check out the cherry blossom at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The timing was just perfect as the flowers were blooming at its peak. It was our first time as a family so we were pretty excited.
Since the Sakura Matsuri Festival was going to be held there that weekend, we figured we would go on a weekday to avoid the crowd & the extra charge. Well, it turns out that admission was free for the hours on the day that we went, so we didn’t have to pay a penny. In exchange for free admissions, however, we got the crowd.
It was a warm & sticky day so we only stayed for a couple of hours; unfortunately all the pollens also kick-started the Ling family allergy season. But the short trip was well worth it—the garden was beautiful & we had a good time together.
Without further ado, here are some photos we took that day. Enjoy!
