Trip to Washington, DC

It's my first weekend here and the first place that I'll be visiting is non other than WASHINGTON, DC.

The reason we chose to go there first was because that's the last week of the Cherry Blossom festival. This festival marks the 95th celebration of the original gift of the 3000 cherry trees from the city of Tokyo to the people of Washington, DC in 1912.

The whole city is planted with these trees and you only get to see the cherry blossom flowers once a year and that is early Spring. We were lucky to be able to see some trees where there are still flowers on it.

Jefferson Memorial White House

What is there besides the flowers? There's plenty of monuments and museums and not forgetting the most famous place of all, The WHITE HOUSE.
