There are so many places packed with cherry blossoms all around dc. There's a cemetery in NE that has an entire hill of them and it's nice to go sit there and read...maybe a little macabre for some. But yea. The tourist trap of cherry blossoms always bewilders me. Especially when they leave the garbage piles and make it crazy gross down there.

Riding a bike down that road is a magical experience

Riding a bike to actually get to that road however was not fun. The entrance to East Potomac Park was absolutely packed with cars and you had to ride in between the gridlocked cars since there was no space on the road or the sidewalk.

I did that same ride on Thursday morning. It was great. Hardly anyone was there, but I was there early.

I mean I found getting there on the metro and meeting people who already had a spot for our blankets and stuff was really easy and super lovely

The cherry tree allées off Brookside drive in Kenwood, just over the DC boundary into Maryland, are also insanely beautiful. The cops limit sightseer cars at peak times since it is a residential neighborhood, but it’s easy to park in the River Roads Whole Foods and walk over
