White Wonderland


Four years ago, Southern Living had an article on the Cherry Blossoms in Kenwood, a neighborhood in Bethesda. I cut it out and put it on my list of things to do and this weekend I finally got out there. It is truly amazing! And so much better then fighting the crowds on the Mall. There are about 1,500 cherry blossom trees - much more than around the tidal basin and a fraction of the tourists. Its really just a wonderland of white. We parked the car once we got inside Kenwood and walked up and down the streets admiring the blossoms and the homes while stopping occasionally at a kid's lemonade stand for some treats.
I highly recommend trying to get out to Kenwood if you can before all of the blossoms are blown away. Use the link above for directions.
