What to do in Washington DC March 20 - April 13

I’d been trying to get to the Cherry Blossom festival for a while so when a trip with a Washington DC layover landed in my airline’s trade board, I snatched it up. I’m glad I did because the blooms did not disappoint. I want to go back!#washingtondc #cherryblossom #thingstodoindc
