Sweet looking trees blooming all over the place - and I heard on the radio about the National Park Service spokesman indicating where to go see the best places. And when the woman said his name on air...I'm like what did she just say?!?

"WASHINGTON — The cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin are officially at peak bloom, the National Park Service announced Friday.


Seventy percent of the trees at the Tidal Basin are in full bloom as of Friday afternoon, National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said."

Been in full bloom out here for a couple of weeks. For some reason Spring comes early in the NW, even though we're at a higher latitude than the rest of the country (sans Alaska). Must be the temperate climate brought to us by Puget Sound.

I remember making the trip for the cheery blossoms with The Mistake and the kids when they were young. Took the train from Jax and spent the week in DC. The city was beautiful.
