    The DC Cherry Blossom Bus Tour with Tidal Basin Guided Walk…read more I've been a resident of the DMV for 15 years and welcome the opportunity to show the highlights of D.C. when members of my family come for a visit. My sister Mary lives in Delaware and had long wanted to experience the color and drama of the Cherry Blossom Festival. These visits can be frustrating - we never really know when the blossoms will be in full bloom, and how long they'll be pretty and photogenic. This year (2026) was no different. The DC Cherry Blossom Tour, hosted by USA Guided Tours, was our go-to provider for this outing. After I ordered our tickets for a mid-week 10 a.m. four-hour tour, I received a prompt acknowledgement from TripAdvisor that the reservations were ready. I made the reservation just a few days earlier, so it was great to see the email that acknowledged our tickets and told us where to go to join the tour. The logistics involved in getting to the correct bus were easy: my sister and I showed up at the Navy Memorial, across the street from the National Archives (which is on the Yellow line Metro). A tour representative was already there and did a great job of getting us into the proper queue for our tour (USA Tours had four different tours departing that morning). The tickets were scanned and we were on our way, right on time. Highlights of the tour included walking through the cherry trees with abundant blossoms, photographers everywhere, and really pretty expressions of an early summer day in the District. We could see across the tidal basin to the impressive carved statue of Martin Luther King, Jr., which we headed to after spending the first walking excursion in the tidal basin and then the FDR Memorial. Our guide did an outstanding job of providing backstories and context to the places we visited, including the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the Vietnam War Memoria. We had ample opportunities to stretch our legs, take free bottles of water, and use restroom facilities (as the bus did not have one on board). Both driver and guide handled their responsibilities very well, and we all had an excellent opportunity to see the blossoms. And, just as our guide had predicted, a severe thunderstorm rolled through the tidal basin later that day and wiped out 100 percent of the blossoms we enjoyed earlier that day. Luck of the draw!

    It was pretty nice, fun and delightful. The costumes, foods,…read moremusics, colors, products, people, parade... all was really enjoyable! I can't wait for the next year!

    Constitution Gardens is a vast green space at the center of many monuments and memorials on the…read moreNational Mall along Constitution Avenue. The gardens have access to the Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Reflecting Pool, JFK Hockey Fields, U.S. Park Police Horse Stables, and Korean War Veterans Memorial. The area is approximately 50 acres. At its center is a pond where you will often find ducks and geese. At the center of the pond is a memorial stone honoring the 56 signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. You can find many willow trees along the pond. There are concession stands located around the pond and food/ice cream trucks to the south closer to the WWII Memorial and Constitution Avenue. During the summer the concession stands are open, however, during the colder months the concessions normally are closed. NOTE: Over the years, the end of the pond near WWII Memorial has been littered with debris, and because the water is stagnant the pond sometimes gives off a horrible smell when the water moves. I've driven by in spring 2026 to see that the pond has been cleared and cleared at this end of the pond (I'm assuming as a part of the 2026 DC Safety and Beautification Initiative). You can often experience swarms of gnats and mosquitoes during the summer. The best time to visit is early spring or fall when these pests are done for the season. Overall, a great grassy area in the heart of downtown with plenty of street parking along Constitution Avenue.

    I love this park so much. When I visit annually, I like to visit with a group of friends to take in…read morethe beauty of it all. As often as I have been here, I still notice something I hadn't before. The trails provide tranquility for a low-key conversation with friends while strolling about, not worrying about having to get to the next meeting, or make a deadline. Just a chance to enjoy the outdoors with people you like, or alone, of course.

    Lady Bird Johnson Park is a small park that takes up most of Columbia Island in the Potomac River…read morecreated in honor of the work the former First Lady did around urban beautification. Here's why it's worth a visit: 1) Park: It's a larger park with lots of trees, flowers and picnic tables in shade for family getaways. There are trails throughout the park including one that leads to a pedestrian bridge to the Pentagon. 2) Parking: There's a free three-hour parking lot near the marina. 3) Memorial: In the middle of the park is a memorial for Lady Bird's husband, President Johnson. 4) Views: The views from the park are stunning. You can see the entire National Mall from across the river. If you need a park with fewer people and lots of shade, go here!

    Took a wrong turn and that's an easy thing to do in this part of town, trust me. Entering this park…read moreturned out to be a pleasant surprise. Decided to get out of the car and start walking down the trail and this turned out to be peaceful as all get out. A few yards into the tree line and you hear birds singing and insects chirping and the city washes away. The tall trees provide plenty of shade and relief from the afternoon sun. A few hundred yards down the trail you come to a clearing with a giant rock formation in the center. This is the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac. There's a whole backstory to this memorial grove told by Lady Bird Johnson herself. Just press the button and listen to the recordings. From here facing east you can see the Potomac River and it's a beautiful spot. It's easy to see why President Johnson chose this location. He used to come here when he wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the White House. The Mount Vernon Trail passes through the park so watch out for joggers and cyclists. You can find restrooms and trash cans close to the parking lot and snacks are available at the Columbia Island Marina.
