The cherry blossoms were in peak bloom this last weekend. My brother, Tim, had never seen the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in bloom before so we decided to go on a little field trip early on Saturday morning.
Since I had been to the cherry blossoms before I knew that we needed to get there as early as possible. Neither of us wanted to drive (because I knew that would be a crazy thing to do) so we got on the first train of the day at 7:00 Saturday morning. The closer we got to the city, the more crowded the train got.
I’m glad we left as early as we could. It was already pretty crowded by the time we got to the Tidal Basin but I heard that it got even more and more crowded as the day continued.
We made it to the Tidal Basin and walked around the whole thing. It was beautiful! The cherry blossoms were in peak bloom!
I really like the pink cherry blossoms!
Look at all of those people already there at 8:00 on Saturday morning!
The pictures don’t really do it justice. It’s really hard to capture how cool it actually is.
Martin Luther King Jr Memorial!
There were quite a few people getting professional photos taken around the Tidal Basin. I loved this lady’s dress so I had to take a picture.
(Also I didn’t notice until later the couple on the left edge of the picture being all cutesy). 😂
I liked this quote at the FDR Memorial!
I liked the contrasting colors at the George Mason memorial!
The Jefferson Memorial!
After we finished walking around the Tidal Basin, we walked to a French bakery at Dupont Circle (a little over 2 miles away). We walked passed the Washington Monument on the way (where the beginning of a kite festival was happening).
I sometimes daydream about food that I’ve eaten and loved. Recently I’ve been thinking about the delicious croissants I ate on my European trip last year. So did some research on the best place to buy croissants in the Washington D.C. area. This French bakery kept on coming up.
Since Tim and I were in D.C., we decided to try it out. It did not disappoint.
We got multiple items and shared.
I think my two favorite items were the Butter Croissant and Sugar Brioche.
It was a good Saturday morning field trip and I’m glad I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms and the nice spring day!
