With Covid travel restrictions postponing my trip with Hannah to Japan for the past three years, Charlotte offered an alternative in Jackson Park, Chicago, home to dozens of blooming cherry trees and a serene Japanese garden. The weather was rainy. The weather was cold. The weather was windy. Delicate cherry blossoms littered the lawn. But some Japanese springtime was better than none. And any day with Charlotte is a good day. :)
Tomorrow: Off to Madison!
