The D.C. Cherry blossoms, given so long to us ago by Japan, are in bloom. I could not think of a better gift to receive from our Eastern friends than one of the most sacred and beautiful trees in all of their land.
Given to the United States in 1912, the 3,000 cherry trees are a magnificent and ideal symbol of unity and brotherhood between the two countries. The trees bloom just once a year, so you must plan accordingly to see the stunning sight.
There are a few festivals and many activities particularly in the beginning of April, so if you would like to see this awesome array of blooming beauties you must go soon.
