There are three major monuments (memorials) in Washington D.C. honoring past Presidents; the Washington, the Lincoln and the Jefferson, The Jefferson Memorial, in my mind occupies the best location. While the needle of the Washington Monument dominates the city’s skyline and the Lincoln Memorial sits at the end of a great reflecting pond, it’s Jefferson that is nestled in among the cherry blossom trees at the edge of the Tidal Basin. To visit when the Cherry trees are in blossom plan you trip around late March to mid April and check out information online regarding “The Cherry Blossom Festival”.
I was born in Washington and grew up in the area and actually moved back a few times over decades. It’s a beautiful city packed with amazing public spaces and monuments and the seasons add a special touch to the scenes.
