April 2003: Dogwood Festival My sister Lani, her fiance Dale, their neighbor Marlon and I attended the 2003 Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park, Atlanta, on April 13, 2003. I knew it was a big event, but I had no idea how crowded it would be. I felt a bit claustrophobic in the park, and it's a big park. We spent an hour or so perusing the booths (what we could see of them, that is), and then we moved on to grab a bite to eat. It was a fun time! |
