RE: Market Friday goes to the Kite Festival

dswigle in #marketfriday • 6 years ago

Hey! This is Washington DC! You know we do things big, don't you! In actuality the Kite Festival is always and forever highly attended. I can understand that because I never miss it. Who wants to miss a whole day outside running in the wind and watching as your kite goes bobbing up into the atmosphere? Not this girl! In the entire time I have that song running through my brain, Let's Go Fly a Kite! I just can't help it.

It is such an incredible sight to watch hundreds and hundreds of colorful kites and soaring up into the sky all at one time. It's nice because if you have a kite, which most everybody does oh, you can do battle with it come or you can buy one, or there is a kite tent where you can actually make one under their guidance. So, they really make it a fun day and even though you would think that the kitestrings would get tangled up being there so many people oh, it happens on occasion, but when it does telling people are cool and calm and just untangle it and help each other. So it makes for a wonderful day. I hope someday you do get to do it, or at least take pictures of it. Somehow I think they have one up north somewhere. At any rate it was a most amazing day with the capital and the Smithsonian Castle as the backdrop, and of course the Washington Monument to the back of you.

Thank you so much for the nice words always and for always supporting Market Friday with your posts ! And in case I haven't told you, I hope that you have a most incredible weekend.

#MarketFriday loves you!

We are so alike whenever I go to our Kite day ( all be it a lot smaller than the one there) that song comes into my head as well :)

Seeing so many flying at one time must be such a cool feeling and experience and so cool you can not only but also make kites there I would love to visit it one year

and I should also say thanks Aunt Tippy

I know! Isn't that so cool? Did you see that I put a link in for a sing along with that song? I'm pretty sure most people passed it over but it was really in quite cute especially at the very end when they pushed up the umbrellas. You got to love when they get the entire town running over to get into the verse.

It actually gets even better! They do have a tent that makes the tights and I teach everybody how to do it and then of course there's a lot of instructors showing you how to fly and then, in case you have an accident oh, there's a kite Meister and he will take care of your kite and bring it back to life. It's such an awesome event and although many around here down play it because we already have thousands and thousands of people showing up, it is very much enjoyed by all who come. And it is very close, well in city blocks it's probably about three blocks from the Tidal Basin and you can peruse cherry trees before and after the Kite Festival. Although Nobody Does that because we all live so close we just come the next day. I truly hope you get here someday because I think that it is something that you would want to spend probably a week perusing around. Of course this is after you retire and you will not sleep in the city oh, but you will sleep outside of the city and jump on the metro to get you in. It's the only way to go.

And yes! I hope you have a most fabulous night.

I am so glad you got to hear the song and I loved the sing-along that they had! Wasn't that fun? My favorite part was probably when they all put the umbrellas up in Surprise the crowd. I think I sang the entire time I was making the post.

Well, I'm glad it's the weekend for you so you can get a little bit of rest and hopefully you will take it easy and recuperate from this busy week, because, boy howdy, the week was pretty busy!
