Cherry Blossom Fever


Another year, another blossom season. Every year hordes and hordes of people come to DC to catch a glimpse of the cherry blossoms at their peak. It is always challenging to time these beautiful trees to see them in perfect bloom. Unfortunately there is only a 1-2 day window to see them in perfect bloom. This year they bloomed early and I think their peak day(s) were last wed & thurs. I have been lucky enough to see them in perfect bloom a few years ago.

This past weekend my mom was in town and we thought it would be fun to go and see the blossoms at sunrise. We thought with going downtown super early we would avoid the crowds. Boy were we wrong! People everywhere!! We were down by the tidal basin by 6am and there were already a bunch of people who had the same thought that we did. By 7:30 it was PACKED!!! We still had a good time and saw some beautiful views. Here are a few pictures from our morning
