Where will you be this March/April? There are a lot of places in the country that make for a beautiful spring season. Consider these three locations:
Washington, DC
With a surplus of year-round attractions to visit in Washington, DC, one could certainly use 13 weeks to take in all that our country’s capital has to offer. But you only need one reason to visit in early spring—the cherry blossoms.

Bring your best camera and keep your calendar open. A travel contract starting in early March will ensure you’re in town during the peak blossom days.
There are a plethora of other things to do in DC this April in addition to touring the memorials and gargantuan amount museum exhibits. It’s a wonderful option for travelers who want to stay busy and expand their trivia knowledge during off-hours.
