Great video so beautiful from the water. ❤

[@reneahetrick8142]

Can't wait to everything this Saturday 🙌 😍

[@JLewTravels]

I hope that you have a great time and thank you for watching. As a FYI, they rescheduled Bloomaroo by the Wharf for Saturday, March 31st. There are a lot of fun activities and performances going on for Bloomaroo and it is worth checking out.

The DC Cherry🌺 Blossom fest draws hugh crowds every year. Mostly tourist from all over. The locals pretty much been there done that.

[@JLewTravels]

We love to see the visitors, but wanted to establish some basic courtesies. We did forget to mention not to break off branches or flower clusters. We saw tons of that.

[@JLewTravels]

Happy peak bloom and cherry blossom season! Do you have plans to travel to DC this year? Let us know!

[@uloveholly82]

We booked for April1. Should we just reschedule to next year?

[@JLewTravels]

The tidal basin cherry blossoms (Yoshino) will likely be past bloom, but the festival would be going on, and other blossoms (Kwanzan) should be blooming. Spring is a great time to capture DC.

[@uloveholly82]

@JLewTravels thank you replying. We mainly wanted to see the cherry blossoms, so we don't care much about the festival. I guess we'll come next year.

[@JLewTravels]

@uloveholly82 sorry you might miss them this year! The weather has turned a bit colder in recent days so they might hang on, but April 1 is far enough away that we can’t be sure

[@hannahpham2556]

We cant go until 22, should we stick with the plan or wait another year 😢?

[@JLewTravels]

Stick to the plan! There will still be plenty of blooms and the festival will have just started. Once a tree’s blossoms open, it’s an average of 7 days before the fall (rain and wind can shorten that timeline), but there were TONS of trees that haven’t opened so you should have a great visit.

[@dianneperkins6412]

Absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed your presentation. You made the Arttechhouse look interesting and fun!

[@JLewTravels]

Artechouse was amazing! Thanks for watching!
