One experience that is guaranteed to be new for the little rascals is a fancy afternoon tea. So we headed to the Willard for tea.
The Willard's logo
We are very early and a bit hungry so we sat outside at the Cafe du Pare
French Onion soup
Fries!
The interior was quite fantastic
This is the hallway where we will have our tea
Established in 1901
Orchids
The white house
A kimono
Under the blossoms
We headed into the lobby to wait
Explore
and delight in the art work
From all eras
and all the countries
From the orient to the turn of the century France
The cherry blossoms are still a thing ever since 1912 and the gift of over 3000 trees to the USA
Keeping our place in line while under the cherry tree
The long waiting period is over
Harpy!!!
They got the memo that we were arriving, Veuve Clicquot.
Cherry blossom themed
Our server pointed out this special Sake from Japan, the rice is hand polished and the mash ades for 3 years
Sugar high!
Here comes the bride!
Ready for anything
Any kind of good loose leaf tea that is
Green tea all day long
Sweetest of sweets
Savory too
The kids were actually given a PB&J
Making some headway
We have an audience
And just like that it was all gone!
