Amtrak’s Silver Meteor arrived into D.C. simply after 7 AM, so my daughter and I had just a few hours till the following prepare to Chicago.

We stashed our baggage within the Metropolitan/Acela lounge, stopped for a fast breakfast at Johnny Rocket’s, headed by way of the grand foyer and out the doorways.  Loads of time and an attractive day to expertise the cherry blossoms.  We virtually had the mall space to ourselves for an hour or so.  

Despite the fact that I’ve been to D.C. a zillion occasions passing by way of on the prepare, I’d by no means timed it to coincide with cherry blossom time.  It was obvious in a second that D.C. actually seems to be fairly in pink.  And inexperienced.  Whereas not precisely Monet’s backyard, this was most likely the prettiest and most colourful panorama I’ve seen in America.

So now you don’t have to move out into the crowds to a minimum of get a peek at Washington’s well-known Cherry Blossoms.  As you safely distance yourselves from strangers and buddies, cease to odor the spring flowers, if just for a minute.
