DC Cherry Blossoms This Week!
PSA for anyone going to see the cherry blossoms in DC this weekend!
The kite festival and associated activities have been rescheduled to Sunday (when the weather is supposed to be way nicer). The cherry blossoms ARE at peak bloom! They’re absolutely gorgeous!
A few tips from me, as someone who’s been there a LOT:
* The walk around the Tidal Basin is about 2.1 miles, so if you start walking around, so be prepared for that if you’re planning to make a full circuit! It’s not really possible to just exit halfway around and go back home unless you, like, call an Uber.
*If you just want a bite-sized cherry blossom experience, depending on where you enter the path and which direction you’re going, I recommend turning back after you hit your first memorial. (But the memorial in the middle, the FDR one, is my favorite, especially at night, so maybe come back sometime?)
* If you’re taking the metro (which is probably the most efficient way in), it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the blossoms from the Smithsonian Metro Station, so budget that in to your plans! A lot of visitors are surprised there’s no metro stop for the monuments/blossoms.
* If you prefer driving and everyone in your party is able to use stairs, I recommend parking at The Portals parking garage on Maryland Avenue. It’s rather expensive but open until 11 PM and has a direct route to the blossoms. You just have to go down a bit of a long staircase behind the Salamander Hotel and then just follow the crowds.
* The path around the Tidal Basin is stroller accessible, but visitors may be surprised by how narrow it is. Especially when the blossoms are at peak bloom and paths are packed with crowds, it may be tricky to navigate the curves of a narrow path right next to the water. There are also some low branches and uneven parts of the path that may pose a slight challenge. It is supposedly wheelchair accessible, though I suspect that in practice, some manual chair users will have a bit of a tough time. There is no real railing between the path and the water in most places. Also, dogs are allowed.
* There are public restrooms at the Jefferson and Roosevelt memorials! The Roosevelt ones may be the easiest to find because they’re right there when you first enter.
* The best way to avoid the crowds is to go at sunrise or sunset. The monuments themselves are relatively well-lit, but the paths between are not always, so do be careful if you’re there in the dark! (Your biggest danger is probably accidentally stepping into the Tidal Basin, tbh.)
* If you go before sunset, there are food trucks in several locations just off the path! There are also benches and many grassy areas to spread out a picnic.
* Worth noting: you’re not supposed to climb the trees or pick the blossoms. I see people doing that every year, but you could get in trouble.
* In case you’ve never been into town, all the Smithsonian museums and memorials are free to visit! There are also themed cherry blossom festival specials at many local restaurants!
* Have fun!

I heard that cherry blossoms are a flavor/edible but not until a serious pickling and cleaning procedure is done to remove the toxins
#maddie speaks#i’ve seen a recipe from an old cooking channel I followed#it was a no bake sakura cheesecake#that and the fact Washington DC’s cherry blossom festival is going on#i might try a cherry blossom cake or ice cream flavor at least once in my life time#i don’t know what it tastes like but…#i hope it pairs well with strawberry

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!!
Cherry blossoms are quite the flower. Along with their pleasing pink and white colors, they only bloom for about a week before their petals fall to the ground or flit through the air. This part of their life cycle probably led to their status as a popular symbol of life, death and rebirth in Japan. In fact, these trees and their blooms are so popular that there are parties where people watch them. Not just in Japan. The International Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the state of Georgia of all places. There’s so much more that I could say about these wonderful blossoms but my time is fleeting and I must be going…for now. I’ll be back tomorrow.
P.S. Also, Senator Armstrong hates them. Not sure if that makes them more or less wonderful but the Japanese styled garden in MGR:R was a pretty neat set piece nonetheless.
