Every year I look forward to the end of March when bright pink and white buds start to dot the landscape. I put on my walking shoes and stroll down toward the Tidal Basin just to take in the truly breathtaking site that is the Cherry Blossoms.
The blooms are so abundant that it looks like snow and the stark white of the monuments and the crisp blue of the water make for a very enticing scene indeed.
Some dates of importance:
The Festival goes from March 26th to April 10th this year but peak bloom times will be from March 29th to April 3rd.
The website is bursting with information on the festivities so visit them at www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org
This is the rare time in DC where I don't mind the excessive crowds. If you're able to, make it a point to be in town during this amazing week.
