We just took my 2.5 year old this past weekend, but we took Amtrak up, stayed in a hotel, and metro’d everywhere. He loved it, but he napped through our walk to the tidal basin to see the blossoms. He LOVED the kite festival, but it was only on Sunday.

If you go, you need to go quickly because peak will be over soon. This coming weekend is probably the last chance, and even that might be pushing it.
