    • If you are within a short walking distance the Mall is a wonderful place to have a picnic lunch. There are shaded areas along both sides and lunching there is common practice with the locals that work nearby. I suggest a blanket as the Mall lawn is not the cleanest place to lounge on the grass. It is bustling with activity at lunch and wonderful if you are a people watcher.

    • The Cherry Blossoms blooming is a must see in DC. In 2007 the celebration is commemorating 95 years since the gift of 3000 cherry trees from Japan. The festival runs March 31-April 15, 2007. The blossoms are truely a sight to behold! The whole of the area is the colour pink!

    There is a large parade with many floats and large character balloons. Fun for kids!

     I completely agree about the overpriced museum food. Grabbing some frozen lemonade as a treat on the mall on a hot July day is a favorite of mine :). Picnicing and people-watching is so fun!    		rubbersoul75 Mon Nov 6, 2006 16:18 UTC
     Thanks for the greetings- Yes, tons of free things to do. I used to have to "kill time" every saturday for a few hours when we lived int he area. Loved the access to the museums & monuments. Your info and pics are the top quality! ciao from Italy
