Finally! It's Spring!!!!

It is beautiful in the city right now and everyone is so happy. Finally! Over the weekend I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. The best part about it was that it was FREE (good lookin' out, babe!). That's right. On Saturdays from 10am -12pm, entrance is free. I couldn't stop oogling over the blossoms. There's one cherry blossom tree that looks like it's weeping-it's so beautiful. And after you visit the gardens, you can hit the farmers market right in front of Prospect Park and take a stroll through the park. On May 1-2 Brooklyn Botanical Gardens is having the Sakura Matsuri (a cherry blossom festival). By then all the trees should be in blossom. It shall be glorious!

Here are some pics from my visit:
