Beautiful Cherry Blossoms

A few weeks ago, I went into the city to see the Cherry Blossom Festival. I drove to the nearest Metro station and took the train into DC. I've always wanted to see the cherry trees in bloom and realized this may be my only chance. If all goes as planned, we may be back in Seattle by the time the trees bloom again next year.

It was a beautiful day, temps in the high 70s and clear skies. I walked around the Tidal Basin, stopping along the way to take lots of photos. The trees were in peak bloom and it was an amazing sight! I didn't post all of the pics but here are some of my favorites (I went overboard with the Washington Monument but everywhere you go, you can see it.)
