DC Cherry Blossom Festival

It's been a few years since Kent and I were in town to enjoy the cherry blossoms in DC.
We were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't very crowded as we walked around the tidal basin on a week day afternoon.

A pretty view of the cherry blossom trees in the background.

Here are the trees along the Tidal Basin as we walked towards the Jefferson Memorial.
We always try to get a view with the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.
The Washington Monument framed by cherry blossoms.
Lots of the blossoms were already falling off the trees.
The weather was about perfect, not too hot and not too cold.
As we were walking back towards Arlington National Cemetery we passed the entrance to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial. It was nice to spend time among the cherry blossoms of DC again!
