But still. Lile the insane backup alllll the waybaround Hains Point is something Ive never seen seen anything close to and Ive been here for decades, come out a dozen plus times to the cherry blossoms. This shit was something else today and I really want to know why. It was super crowded last year but like normal tons of walkers around tidal basin and way quieter on Hains Point but it was batshit today.

Maybe bc of the kite festival happening at peak bloom, on a perfect weather day, when yesterday was such shit weather? I didn’t make it there but heard crowds were epic

This. Remember last week the weather wasn't great either except for Thursday. Pent up demand. Basically if you don't get to the Tidal Basin by 10 crowds were insane.

It's like they aren't ever going to see the trees again. Are they expecting something bad to happen to the trees?
