Kite Festival


Saturday was the annual Smithsonian Kite Festival at the Washington Monument on the National Mall. We packed a small picnic and headed over around 11. The weather was brisk but sunny and we dressed warmly for it, bringing a blanket just in case. The mall was pretty crowded with families with their own small store bought kites and there was a section roped off for the Official participants. These were for the most part pretty large. There was an Ocean themed entries that had multiple parts linked together such that as one would get up, it would help pull up the next piece. It consisted of a Ray, an Octopus and a shark. We stayed for about two hours.
