DC’s Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom
Here’s a few photos from this morning around the Jefferson Memorial and the National Mall. As you can see, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and spectacular!! The weather cooperated nicely today, providing clear, blue skys. But the strong winds may cause some of the blooms to be blown away prematurely, so if you want to see the trees in all their glory, it’s best to make a visit to the National Mall as soon as you can.

Why Caps Fans Are Happy...
Right now, your average Capitals fans is as happy as a lobbyist with a wad of cash to spend. Their team is riding the best winning streak in franchise history.
