It’s that time again…time to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms along the tidal basin, enjoy fun events and get outside for Spring.  Unfortunately we had a bit of a cold snap, but hopefully it will warm up soon…don’t let the cold keep you indoors though…here is a link to the Cherry Blossom Festival schedule of events.  There are so many fun things to do in the city during this time…And don’t forget the parade is on April 9 beginning at 10am on Constitution Ave from 7th-17th street.  Enjoy Spring!  Here is a link to the official page to learn more or donate to the disaster relief efforts in Japan: http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/
