Our trip to the see the famous Japanese cherry trees blossoming around the Jefferson Memorial.

The Washington Monument, from Independence Ave
again, with some a dang cherry tree in the way
again, with some people and more trees in the way
You can get a feel for the size of the monument here
The view from the traffic jam, my favorite part (other than the 1.5 hour ride home)
The Jefferson Memorial, from Independence Ave
tightly packed cherry trees along Independence Ave
A closer view
Cherries along the Tidal Basin, sun is setting, still not out of the traffic jam
A nice view under the canopy
The Washington Monument (finally out of the car)
