It’s finally feeling like Spring, so Dave and I decided to spend an afternoon in Old Town Alexandria. We didn’t have much on our agenda besides walking the cute streets of old town and visiting Gatsby’s Tavern museum.

It’s officially the best time to enjoy spring in Washington, D.C. The National Park Service announced the cherry blossom trees in D.C. hit peak bloom on Thursday (April 5th), and the best time for viewing will continue for up to seven days. Peak bloom is defined as the day when 70% of the Yoshino variety blossoms are open on the cherry trees surrounding the Tidal Basin.
The pink blossoms of the Kwanzan trees are often found in the East Potomac Park area, while the white blossoms of the Yoshino are found closer to the northern part of the Tidal Basin near the Washington Monument.
With the weather being cold all March long, we didn’t feel like doing or seeing anything in DC, although there is always something going on in this vibrant city. However, we set up a date for tonight, which we enjoyed quite a bit.
