I love the annual DC festival
I doubt I'll make it there this year, but the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival is an awesome event, especially when the trees peak during it. It also has some of the best food, crafts and demonstrations you'll find. I'm making myself hungry thinking about it . . . The trees did peak during the festival last year, first time in a long time.

A funny thing about the caption for that image, it says the peak should be about April 5-12, but then goes on to say it will be before the April 7th festival . . . hmmmmm
