According to the DC Frolics Instagram, other spots to see the cherry blossoms include East Potomac Park and Hains Point, the Congressional Cemetery, Dumbarton Oaks (in Georgetown), near the Capitol Grounds and the Library of Congress, and the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral.

The cherry blossoms are blooming in Washington, D.C., and the federal city is receiving its annual influx of tourists eager to soak in the beauty of the iconic trees. But tourists should enjoy the cherry blossoms from a healthy distance.
