Washington, DC — Finally: warmer weather, in the mid-70s. And with the throngs heading to the DC mall and the Georgetown waterfront this afternoon, a trip with my family to the tidal basin to catch the blossoms and snap some photos was in order.
There was still a crowd, but far more manageable to walk from Georgetown along the Potomac than it was to drive — anywhere; the poor saps in their cars, bumper to bumper, for miles.
As usual, the cherry blossoms were spectacular, and the weather a welcome respite from the cold weather dogging the area for the past several months.
