From 1912 to 1920, over 3,000 cherry trees, a gift from Japan, were planted around the Tidal Basin in DC. We've always wanted to visit DC during cherry blossom peak time. So this year we did it, and were fortunate enough to get here just in time for the peak bloom. Although it's really cool here (by Florida standards--a high of 50, with wind), it's beautiful. We also took the opportunity to stop by the WWII Memorial (inspiring), and the Smithsonian African American History Museum.
The path around the Tidal Basin was packed with people, but the views were great.
