Cherry Blossoms

It’s cherry blossom season in Washington, DC, which means that it’s time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival. I went last year, and it’s really beautiful. The cherry blossoms were a diplomatic gift from Japan to the US, and every year when it’s blooming season thousands of tourists come to DC to see these blossoms. Local restaurants incorporate cherries into their menus, and there are also events such as a kite festival, a sushi and sake tasting, and even a Japanese street festival. As fun as these events are, my favorite part is still the actual blooming of the cherry blossoms because they are positively beautiful!
