Pro: The flowers are BEAUTIFUL!
Whether you are walking from your residence hall to class or down by the tidal basin, all of the blooming pink and white flowers are absolutely magnificent. And of course, the White House always has the most picturesque flowers blooming on all sides.Con: Allergies!
I have never had pollen, flower, dust, or seasonal allergies before coming to DC. However since moving out here every Spring my nose gets stuffed, my sinuses throb, and headaches prevail. I may suffer a little for the beauty of the season, but it is nothing that a little medicine can't handle.Pro: The festival!
There is the kite flying, the parade, the markets, and just a general cheerfulness all around! There are always special performances, concerts, and events going on to celebrate the rare and short-lived beauty of the cheery blossoms! Check out the schedule of events on the festival's official website!Con: With the blossoms come the people!
The metro is more crowded, the streets are mobbed with people, and the mall is full of tourists. While I love to see people enjoying this special time of year, sometimes I just want to yell "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" So for you all who are planning on making a visit to GW/DC anytime in the future please, attempt to follow these rules....1) Stand on the right side of the escalators (all of them) and let people pass on the left...2) Do not stop and wait for the rest of your group at the top of the escalator...3) Don't be afaird to ask for directions. Most people are able to help you get to where you need to go.If you are coming out I hope you enjoy yourselves and the beautiful setting Washington has right now!
Don't forget to email me!
until next time
