It's only natural: the longer you live somewhere, the more you take it for granted. I must confess that I am guilty of that here in Washington, DC and often forget to take advantage of all the great things this city has to offer. Luckily for me, there are always a plethora of people who snap me out of it and remind me that I too should be exploring the city.
Judging by the massive amounts of tourists and visitors, many of you already know that the Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off this past Saturday, March 28th. With Peak Bloom predicted to be between April 1-4th, the Cherry Blossom Festival will continue through April 11th. While a little early, the gorgeous weather on Sunday enticed me to make the trek and, I must say, the Cherry Blossoms were more beautiful this year than I ever remembered. They are definitely worth checking out for all those living in Washington, DC!
And for everyone who hates battling the crowds and waiting in jam-packed Metro cars, Metro has enhanced their service during the next two weeks. However, they do warn commuters to allow for some extra time as there are bound to be delays despite the best efforts of WMATA.
