Cherry Blossom Time in D.C.

We took The Metro to Capitol Mall to see the Cherry Blossoms. As we approached DC the car filled up with Baseball fans and blossom gawkers. Where did all of these Cherry Trees come from? The tidal basin in encircled with trees. I have always loved the Jefferson Memorial. It is the center piece of the festival.
Yes, you can rent paddle boats and add "freezing to death" as a part of your visit.
Our lovely ladies pose on the bridge with the Washington Monument as a backdrop.



We join the crowd on the steps of the JM to watch the always fascinating Cloggers perform.




Evan and his Daddy had a great time looking at the horses and picking up sticks.

Wow - I have spent most of the day staring at a Washington, DC map, and what should i find when I checked the blog? Funny coincidence. Looks lovely and cold out there... Too bad the bezier-curved "Japanese Cherry Trees" text on my map doesn't quite communicate the presence of the blossoms.

One more thing - could you tell me the EXACT location of the "Three Soldiers" statue? by the Vietnam memorial wall? I'm not sure if the point is in the right place..
