What could be more DC than the Cherry Blossom Festival. The town turned into a Zoo. There were so many people downtown, so quickly, that it was really hard to comprehend. The trees 
peaked on the 31st. We went downtown the weekend before on the 27th to see the trees, the Kite Flying festival at the Washington Monument and to generally enjoy the beautiful weather. It was too windy for good kite flying but there were a ton of people out. We could walk around the tidal basin fairly easily, the peak of the crowds coming on the week of the 29th. I've added some obligatory blossom pics.

We came across a women's rugby game - now that was something to see. We also visited the National Building Museum to see the Cherry Blossom festival show - just caught the end of it - and then see two of the exhibits in the museum, the most interesting of which was one about the evolution of parking garages, from an architectural point of view.
Sue came downtown after workon the 31st and we walked around the tidal basin on the peak day. It was worth an encore.
