This year we took a boat ride along Potomac River to see the cherry blossoms from the water. It was a perfect, beautiful day. 
After our 90 minute boat ride, we walked around the tidal basin for a closer look at the trees. About 10,000 other people also decided it was a good day to see the cherry blossoms. These photos are not exactly chronological; some are from the boat cruise and others are from our walk.
Here's our artsy cherry-blossom-framing-the-Jefferson-Memorial shot

The US Capital as seen from the Potomac River
This is a pretty good shot of us with the Washington monument; it's too bad you can barely see the cherry blossom trees in the background!
TheNational War College had lovely trees all around it
The Jefferson Memorial had some construction going on around it and was difficult to get to, but LOTS of people found the way.
The water in the river was very high - following record snowfall this past winter

those are beautiful pictures! I guess if you are going to live somewhere in the US it might as well be Washington DC - that's probably the most historic place there is!
I wish we had cherry blossoms in Texas! It's sure pretty!
Oh how I miss the cherry blossoms! They're so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mr. and Mrs. Carson!
LOVE these pictures! They make me miss Japan. You should frame the Jefferson one--it's beautiful! I know my parents wanted to ride up to DC to check out the blossoms, but weren't able to, so I'm happy to be able to see some pictures anyway!
