I recommend doing this at night. The crowds are not as bad and it looks beautiful.
How to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC
It made me
Happy 
"The Cherry Blossoms were so Beautiful!"
How I did it: Me and my Hubby drove to DC and spent a few hours walking along the Tidal Basin and near the Jefferson Memorial looking at all the cherry trees. We had a fun & yummy picnic lunch under a beautiful pink cherry tree. We took a ton of photos and were happy that the weather was beautiful!
Lessons & tips: Check the Bloom Watch page on the National Cherry Blossom Festival website before you go.
Bring a camera to capture all the beauty.
I highly suggest just sitting under a tree and people watch or have a picnic.
You can also go on the paddle boats at the Tidal Basin.

some hope I could do this in 2009. Last night Hubby informed me he volunteered for a project at work that will entail some travel to Alexandria, VA. If I ever have the chance to tag along, I will. Especially if it’s in cherry blossom time!
It was pretty - but cold!

been to DC since I was 9, but I clearly remember feeling ripped off because all the postcards showed the city at cherry blossom time, whereas we were there in the heat of summer.
And really, 9 is way too young to appreciate all that DC is. This is another one of those “I want to do it once before I die” goals that most likely will never happen, but when I came across the goal, I just had to add it.

I’m getting a digital camera for my birthday. This will make taking (and posting) pictures much easier when I finally get the chance to see them.
