On March 31, 2019, I walked around the National Mall in Washington D.C. and visited the cherry blossoms in the Tidal Basin. This was one day before the predicted peak bloom this year when 70% of the blossoms of the Yoshino cherry trees that surround the Tidal Basin are open. I also went inside the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, the Archives of American Art Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery, and the National Portrait Gallery. Below are some pictures taken in Washington D.C. while visiting the cherry blossoms and museums mentioned above.

On Washington’s Birthday also known as President’s Day, on February 18, 2019, I attended the George Washington Birthday Parade in Alexandria, VA, and the day before I visited the National Portrait Gallery, which is a part of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington D.C. The George Washington Birthday Parade marches through Old Town Alexandria and is billed as the largest George Washington Birthday Parade in the U.S. While at the National Portrait Gallery I visited the Hall of Presidents which has portraits of nearly all American presidents. Below are some pictures I took while over Presidents’ Day weekend in February, 2019.

I visited the National Christmas Tree outside of the White House and also the U. S. Capitol Christmas Tree in Washington, D. C. in 2018. I was able to see both of the Christmas Trees with their lighting turned on at night as I visited after the National Christmas Tree Lighting was held on November 28, 2018, and the U. S. Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting was held on December 6, 2018. Both the National Christmas Trees and the U. S. Capitol Christmas Tree have their own websites where you can find out more information. I also visited the National Christmas Tree shortly before dark to better see the National Christmas Tree Railroad and train display underneath. Below are some pictures I took of both of the Christmas Trees.
