For the first time since arriving to the DC metro area, I finally walked around the Tidal Basin, which has the Jefferson Memorial. In the 1880s the city first constructed this reservoir in order to drain water from the Washington Channel, and twice a day the tides sweep away the water from the basin. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Tidal Basin is one of the focal points.

We hold these truths to be self evident.
Washington Monument through the Jefferson columns.
I don't know if President Obama
was on board or not.
Next to the Washington Monument was a stage where the
festival will have performances for the next couple weeks.
This performance with drums came from a Chinese-oriented
club associated with the DC public schools.
