Cherry Blossoms and Washington D.C.
March 19, 2008 · Print This Article
One of the truly wonderful places to visit this spring has got to be Washington, D.C. Here’s a city that literally blossoms in spring (around mid April I believe). Magnificent cherry blossoms aside, Washington, D.C. is of course a year-round destination with several world renown sites–from the Washington Monument to Arlington Cemetery
Washington is a place to contemplate the people who have sacrificed their lives for this country - both within and without - and a place to marvel at how a great nation pays homage to the known and unknown.
More than 6 million people live and work in Washington D.C. With all the excitement around the election, now just might be one of the best times to plan a family trip there.

Wonderful culturally diverse neighborhoods in the DC area. (None that rival Toronto of course but wonderful none the less!) Last time I visited I stayed in Chinatown. It was delightful because Metro stop under the hotel and lots of good walking in the area. Then there is Adams Morgan and…I could go on. It’s one of the things I miss about DC. We are having snow, so I wish it was warm enough for Cherry Blossoms right now!
I live in DC and I have to say that the beauty that I see around Spring ime always amazes me.
I love going with the family to see the Cherry Blossoms and also just sitting along the Mall grounds and visiting the museums.
