Want to get your cherry blossom on but don't feel like fighting the mob scene at the Tidal Basin? Some of the most beautiful cherry blossoms in the Metro area aren't at the feet of Thomas Jefferson, but are up the road in Bethesda's Kenwood neighborhood located just beyond the DC border. The 1200 white and pink blossom Yoshino cherry trees line the streets of Kenwood, creating an umbrella of flowers over the homes and roads.
Despite living in the area for 25+ years I had never seen them and luckily picked the perfect day last Sunday to enjoy their spectacular, natural beauty.
The trees are on private property so if you visit please stay off the lawns and definitely don't climb the trees, no matter how tempting!
There were several stands usually staffed by children, selling cookies, snacks and drinks for charity.
