Springtime in the District

I had a bit of time in the morning to just walk around and explore D.C. My main goal was to see what was left of the Cherry Blossoms before they completely fell off. I was not able to see them in their peak because I was busy that weekend. Oh well, there is always next year. I went from the Smithsonian metro station and walked to the Tidal Basin, although I didn't walk very far around the Tidal Basin.

A few pictures of the Monument since you can see it pretty much from wherever you go. From the Tidal Basin, I walked then to the World War II memorial and down alongside the empty Reflection Pool past the Lincoln memorial to 23rd.

Then in the afternoon, I sat by the little park by H and 19th waiting for the bus to take me home. There were cameramen behind me. I didn't know that the IMF was having their annual spring meeting that weekend so it was pretty much chaos in the area. The city though has a lot of nice blooming trees and such. There are also a lot of pretty trees in Rosslyn. I'll try to include that next time.
