Everyone was gravitating towards the Washington Memorial. There were little tents set up for food and t-shirts and stuff like that, but pretty much I really didn't see much "festival" about it. It seemed a lot more like an invitation to the general public to come see the trees all at the same time.
There were people on the paddle boats out in front of the Jefferson Memorial, and ducks and seagulls were all over the place. I don't think I've ever seen so many porta-potties in a row!
Mostly the vendors were food. I personally went in for the "cinnamon and sugar toasted almonds," which was a four dollar baggie of nuts. They were hot, which was good! Then the four of us went looking for Fuddruckers but ended up at some place called Henry's instead. It was weird in there because there were so many TVs turned to sports at the same time, it was in stereo!
The trees are gorgeous, and I thought it was sorta strange that it could be predicted so accurately in advance when they would start blooming. I think I noticed them blooming about a week ago. My roommate Cassie noticed too, because she has allergies!
