National Cherry Blossom Festival

The festival is a two week long celebration every year marking the beginning of spring.  The cherry blossom trees which were a gift from Japan in 1912 are all around the tidal basin and along the Washington Channel.  It is a really beautiful time to visit DC as many of the major sites are around this area so you get to see them when it's all PINK! Yesterday we walked right around the Tidal Basin here are some of the pictures we took.
