In the Springtime, Washington is blanketed in a canopy of light pink lace. These 3,000 cherry trees were gifted to the US by Japan as a sign of friendship in 1912. Now, each year millions of people flood into the nation's capital for a glimpse at this magnificent sight as they come into full bloom.
While there's a concentration of them around the National Mall, they're dispersed all over the city. If you're looking to get away from the crowds take a stroll through some residential neighborhoods in Northwest. You're bound to find a cherry blossom you can sit under all by yourself.
