It’s…

Cherry Blossom Festival Time!!

You have to go down,

the Cherry Blossoms are BEAUTIFUL,

we went down Monday,

and during the week…

PARKING IS NOT A PROBLEM,

REPEAT,

PARKING IS NOT A PROBLEM.

What nobody ever tells you is that one lane that surrounds the tidal basin basically, is parking…

and it’s all free.

I don’t know why people get in such a tizzy over Cherry Blossom parking every year.

You will probably have to drive very slowly and look for a space, but you will find one, and at the end, there are always some.

JUST BE PATIENT

The blossoms are truly worth it !!!

It’s a bucket list item… and it’s SO EASY

BTW – Go Now!  Blossoms aren’t officially at peak, but they look like they are !

My son and I went down to see The Cherry Blossoms… for the first time.  I’m embarrassed we hadn’t done it before because it was so easy- and come on, the Cherry Blossoms are just so pretty!

They are officially ‘past peak’ right now, but as you can see from my pictures- they still look pretty good!

About the parking- it’s easy!  Just drive down to the Tidal Basin, go around the Jefferson Memorial and that parkway right there that circles the Tidal Basin and is right by the FDR Memorial has free parking all along it.  That’s right- they changed it from 2 ways to a 1 way street- so 1 lane is all parking- brilliant !!!!!!

When did the DC government get so smart ??!!

That’s how it was this week- check the Official Website for details, (although on the website they encourage you to park and take their free tram).

Go down- it’s easy, fun and there’s nothing like seeing the Cherry Blossoms in person!
