I think spring is the best time of year to visit Washington, D.C. The weather is still cool and fresh, and the thousands of cherry trees planted in and around the city are blooming. The National Cherry Blossom Festival this year runs from March 20 – April 17th.
I visited Washington a few years back. It’s got many fascinating attractions, but a highlight was the beautiful blooming cherry trees.
Rethymno is a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its multicultural old town, tropical beaches and exquisite Cretan cuisine.

Rapid City is best known for its proximity to Mt. Rushmore and the four presidents carved into it. But the City of Presidents also features a walk where you can encounter more than 40 Presidents who have been the United States’ Commander-in-Chief. The art is interesting and the walk is a lot of fun.

The beautiful Gothic Cathedral in Seville, Spain was built on the site of a mosque. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and well worth a visit when in Andalusia.
Love all these pictures. We have been to D.C. a few times,but never in the spring. Seeing this post reminds me that I need to plan a future trip in March or April sometime. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos.
