more from dc

Once we had visited several of the touristy spots in DC, we headed to The Source. Alex recommends the roast duck. I say skip the tuna tartare (usually one of my favourite appetizers, but it was awful here) and save room for dessert. After walking around and admiring the architecture, we stopped into Busboys and Poets for a chai latte before heading back to our hotel. - Mina

the tidal basin

Alex and I went to the tidal basin during the Cherry Blossom Festival in hopes of seeing the trees in bloom. Even though we were there for the typical peak season, the blossoms were just beginning to open. I can't complain though; it was a nice walk in the sunshine and I had great company.  - Mina
