National Cherry Blossom Festival

This morning we rode Metro in to Washington DC to see the beautiful Cherry Blossoms. We walked around the entire tidal basin and took in the views. It was crazy crowded, but we managed to get a few photos without a million tourists in them. We also visited the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial. There is so much to see here. The National Marathon was also taking place in downtown DC this morning, which added to the congestion, but it was so much fun to see and hear the ooooohs and aaaaaahs of everyone who came to see this beautiful sight! It was a crisp, chilly day, and it's supposed to snow again tonight. I hope the freeze doesn't affect the blossoms which are supposed to be at peak next week. Can't wait to see them then!
