Cherry Blossom Tourists

April 11, 2009 · 2 Comments

It’s springtime here in Washington and you know what that means… TOURISTS! Tourist season kicks off every year with the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Yes, I know you could see these flowers in your own backyard but wouldn’t you rather sit in 2 hours of traffic around the Beltway to see them with 160,890,359 other people? Apparently there are many who say yes to that question. Lucky for them, we apparently have a new highway sign telling them where to go:

Rt 110 in Arlington

Bus service was in full swing as well with people viewing from the rooftop of the double-deckers:

The tour groups were in full swing with their flags:

And THIS lady even broke out the tye-dye for this special spring day. You’ve gotta love tourist fashion:

Tye-dye... check.  Matching baseball cap... check.  Matching tourist purse... check.  Wait, you forgot the fanny pack!
