As for the National Cherry Blossom Festival, the official website says peak blossoms are expected to be March 24–31 this year. So we expect there not to be blossom one when we get there.

We’re going to the
Adventure Caravans 11 Day Spring Mega Rally - Washington DC:
http://www.adventurecaravans.com/usa/avc_usa_tours.asp?TCC=11RYRUWA2012990. We’ve been to two other Adventure Caravans events and have really been impressed. Everything is absolutely first class. Talking to folks at the events, they fall all over themselves talking up the other events they’ve been to. You end up doing many things you would have never done on your own, often would have never considered doing or would even know to do. One person had been to nearly 30 rallies and caravans! One guy came to visit our PC three times; swore he was headed to Elkhart to visit the factory. Don’t know if he ever did.
But even if we miss the cherry blossoms, we are still anxious to see D.C. again, a place that you can’t really see too often. If you haven’t been there,
go!! Every American should absolutely see it at least once.
We are also going in the
32 Day Great River Road & Fall Colors Caravan:
http://www.adventurecaravans.com/usa/avc_usa_tours.asp?TCC=32USMIS2012977. It starts in Bemidji, MN where you can step across the Mississippi River and then follows the Mighty Mississippi all the way the other end in New Orleans. It would be fun to have another PC in the group…
