Blooming magnolia trees in D.C. 

4/10/2014

Most people head right to the Tidal Basin to see the breathtaking cherry blossoms. And I did the exact same thing!! However, I got there a few days too early and they weren't in bloom yet! NOOOOOOO. With the cherry blossoms you have a window of a few days when their small buds open up and they reach their peak. Depending on how windy it is, that window can be even shorter before they are all blown off. Luckily as I started to walk around the area I saw the equally as beautiful magnolia trees at the Smithsonian Castle. So if you ever come to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival - and there aren't any cherry blossoms to see - head over to the Castle just a 1/2 mile away.
