DonRocks Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I've often thought the cherry trees in DC, and the National Cherry Blossom Festival in general, were overrated, but that was before today. I managed to get a parking place right by the impressive Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and the trees were out in all their splendor - if you have a chance to see them in the next few days, do - parking on West Basin Drive near the MLK Jr. Memorial is your best bet (the Memorial itself is well-worth seeing), and I strongly recommend trying to get a 3-hour space there; otherwise, you have to pay $1 to take a shuttle, and join the masses. Having been to the cherry trees perhaps ten times, I mistakenly remembered that they were somewhat ... overplayed; they aren't - they're gorgeous. And I have never seen so many Japanese tourists in one place before today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
