Spring in Washington, and a young (that's a joke, son) man's fancy turns to a good long pootle. I'm taking a staycation, and with 65 degrees, bright and sunny, what better way to celebrate by riding out to see the cherry blossoms. Rode down the Four Mile Run trail to Potomac Yards for lunch, through Crystal City to the Mt. Vernon trail. Across the 14th Street bridge to the Tidal Basin. Got off the bike there - lots of tourists. Then back down the Mt. Vernon trail to Old Town Alexandria, and an ice cream at Pops. Finally home along the Eisenhower Ave./Holmes Run trail. I'm exhausted, but happy. Two pictures for you, taken with my cell phone camera, so they aren't very good. One is the view toward the 14th St. bridge from Buzzard Point. The other is at the Tidal Basin looking toward the Jefferson Memorial.
