We will be there in May for a wedding - anything in particular we should see/do (keeping in mind we have a 3 month old)?  I am sad that we will have missed Cherry Blossom season, perhaps another time.

      Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
