If you haven’t made it to the Tidal Basin yet, now is the time to go. This past Saturday was probably the most perfect we’ve seen them. So, before more breezy days or April showers strip all the petals and blooms off, go enjoy one of our city’s most famous attractions.
The festival ends April 17th and this Saturday is kite day. Additionally, there are lots of special treats at local restaurants to be enjoyed. We loved the chocolate egg dusted with cherry blossoms at Centrolina!
