Washington DC Cherry Blossoms Season Is Here!

[admin]

It happens every year here in Washington D.C..The cherry blossoms pop, the days get warmer, and everywhere you turn, you can't help tripping on some local griping about the tourists.

They stand on the left on the escalators! They stop in the middle of the sidewalk to take pictures! They talk on the Metro! The nerve! Well, you know what? We need those tourists. They're here to have fun, learn a little about the country and the city.

Washington D.C. is beautiful when the cherry blossoms pop out. It's really hard to blame the travelling tourists that flock to DC to see them. Heck, I would do the same thing!

And they bring much-needed money to our city that's reliant on tourist dollars. Besides, it's not like they're coming to make trouble, destroy city property or deliberately inconvenience the locals. Besides, anyone who's ever traveled should know the feeling of being in a new place, trying to find your way around, seeing something so new and cool you have to take a picture.

So the next time you get upset with a tourist taking pictures of the cherry blossoms, pause and think about it. Odds are that you would be doing the same if you were in their shoes. Our city, Washington DC, is truly beautiful this time of year. We have flowers everywhere, and they are so dang pretty in DC. Enjoy it!
