I am so glad that it is finally the weekend. Also, it is my last day at the office before heading to San Diego on Monday! The weather here is beautiful and it is supposed to just keep getting better through the weekend. In other good news, the famed Cherry Blossom trees survived the Blizzard of 2010.
The district takes its Cherry Blossoms very seriously. There is a whole festival in their honor and actually an official bloom watch Web site! They have pictures posted there of what the blooms should look like in a countdown to their peak bloom period. Kind of ridiculous and sort of like learning that your baby is only the size of an avocado at 16 weeks.
Currently the blooms are at Stage One:
All kidding aside, it really is absolutely beautiful when the trees are in bloom along the tidal basin. This year the peak bloom date forecast is April 3-April 8. But they should start blooming around March 31.
