DC 100 years of cherry blossoms

My husband and I drove/rode the tram down to dc today to see the cherry blossoms in peak bloom period.  It was amazing really and I think everyone should try to see it at least once in their life.  We walked around the washington monument, lincoln memorial, jefferson memorial and went the mall area to visit some museums.


I loved going and seeing the city without feeling like we had to hurry like most tourists end up doing.  We had some hot dogs from a street vendor....wandered through the gardens at the smithsonian and even wandered around an event that was being set up on the mall area.  Turns out this weekend it will be an atheist rally.....so thats a little different...and glad we went today and not tomorrow.
