We depart from Philadelphia in the morning and start the cherry blossom tour.
First, we will take the D.C. Cherry Blossom Cruise (60 mins) for sightseeing along the Potomac River. With a backdrop of full blooming cherry trees on the banks of the Potomac River, you can also see most iconic landmarks in the area: The Pentagon, Washington memorial, Air Force Memorial and so on. The cruise offers a best way to view the capital city being surrounded by cherry blossom! (we will visit Capitol Hill (outside view) instead, if the DC cruise close).
Later, we will visit the Jefferson Memorial (50 mins). The 96-foot memorial is noted for its circular marble steps, portico, a circular colonnade of Ionic order columns and a shallow dome, which is an obvious nod to the Pantheon of Rome. It also mirrors the University of Virginia rotunda, a structure designed by Jefferson himself. Inside the grand memorial stands a 19-foot statue of Thomas Jefferson and excerpts he authored can be found on the interior wall: "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." The memorial is located by the Tidal Basin, from where you will have a stunning view of the Cherry Blossom blooming along the shore during the time. Donated by Japan as a gift of friendship and peace, the Cherry Blossom trees in DC have graced the Tidal Basin and Potomac Waterfront over 100 years.
And after visiting the White House (outside view 20 mins), we will visit Newseum (75 mins) which is a top 10 ranked popular attraction in Washington D.C. It’s known as one of the most interactive museum in the world that promotes free expression and the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Newseum experience traces the evolution of electronic communication from the birth of radio, to the technologies of the present and the future.
Following we will be visiting the Madame Tussands (60 mins) in Washington D.C. which is the only attraction you can get close to the “45 presidents” of US. We will have the chance to explore the inner structure of The White House, taking photographs with Oval Office desk aka The Resolute Desk. The great names will be memorized and honored forever.
