Washington, DC

1st Day: This morning we head to our Nation’s Capital. After lunch we will visit the spectacular Smithsonian Institution, where you can look at all the wonders. The Smithsonian Institute is the world’s largest museum complex with 19 museums.

After visiting the Smithsonians, we will check into our home for the next two nights. Evening is free at the hotel.

2nd Day: Welcome to the Nation’s Greatest Springtime Celebration! Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates spring in Washington, DC, the gift of the cherry blossom trees, and the enduring friendship between the people of the United States and Japan. The Festival produces and coordinates daily events featuring diverse and creative programming promoting traditional, and contemporary arts and culture, natural beauty, and community spirit. The highlight of the event is the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade®, one of the largest annual spectator events in Washington. The Parade takes place in downtown DC along historic Constitution Avenue. A two-hour, televised procession of original floats, giant character helium balloons, and other fun Parade fanfare. Marching bands, specialty units, youth choir members, and tap dancers are all part of this energy-filled spectacle. You are free today to sightsee as you wish. (Note: Grand Stand seating is available for the parade. Reservations and admission is each individual’s responsibility. You may stand along the route and there is no charge.) (CB)
