Plum Blossoms

It may not be Cherry Blossom season yet, but it is Plum Blossom season.  Drew and I went to Kairakuen Garden in Mito on Sunday where they have a large variety of Plum trees.  It was a beautiful, sunny day and a perfect way to usher in Spring.

THE snack to have was the Plum flavored ice cream.  We figured this out once we saw the long lines forming to purchase one of these babies.  Delicious!  It tasted just like a Chewy Spree.

The park was actually very large and even had a lake.  I would love to take a bike ride around here.  Gosh, it's great to be out of hibernation!
