Cherry Blossoms

April is cherry blossom season in Kyoto, Japan.  It seems every tourist in the world had the same idea as us to go to Japan during this time.  Hotels were impossible to book but finally, after a week of searching, we located a hotel in central Kyoto.  I’m glad we were able to book this one hotel because without it, we were debating on altering our travel plans and go somewhere else.  I’m glad we didn’t, Kyoto, Japan in April is an amazing and beautiful sight to see!  The photographs below were taken in various parks, streets, and temples throughout the greater Kyoto area.  Beyond the stunning cherry blossoms in the photos you may also notice another important happening:  Aimee’s pregnant!  That’s right, our son isn’t even born yet and he has already been to Kyoto, Japan.  Not only Kyoto, but also Canada, Philippines, China, and Hong Kong.  Lucky kid!  He’s been to more international places as a fetus than I was within the first 25 years of my life!  I hope he enjoyed the cherry blossoms; Aimee and I certainly did!  Take a look:
