It was windy that year so we missed out on the full bloom tree. It was still very pretty non-the-less.Definitely, check out the various activities by national park. Pack up your patience because it will be very busy.If you will be looking for accommodation, stay across the river for cheaper option. The metro is very easy and convenient. Try to time your travel time to avoid rush hour. Enjoy! We love DC. I can't wait to go back. We were there last year but at the end of the festival.

Another great option is to have brunch at the nearby Mandarin Oriental and walk off the calories :) I agree with the advice to go early…we’ve packed blankets, muffins and a
