About Washington, DC

​

Washington, DC, the U.S. capital, is a compact city on the Potomac River, bordering

the states of Maryland and Virginia. It’s defined by imposing neoclassical monuments and buildings – including the iconic ones that house the federal government’s

3 branches: the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. It's also home to iconic museums and performing-arts venues such as the Kennedy Center. – Google

What I love about DC! I love the beautiful architecture of the buildings in DC.
When I was in college, we studied about how the buildings in DC were designed

and inspired by buildings in Rome.

I love all of the shops in DC too! DC Cupcakes in Georgetown

truly has some of the best cupcakes ever! Be sure to check out
DC if you ever get a chance. It is truly a wonderful experience

for people of all ages to enjoy!

I love the Cherry Blossoms in DC around Spring.
The Cherry Blossoms were a gift to America from Japan.

The planting of cherry trees in Washington DC originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan. In Japan, the flowering cherry tree, or "Sakura," is an important flowering plant. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a symbol with rich meaning in Japanese culture.

 

Cherry blossoms symbolize both birth and death, beauty and violence.

They are a central motif in the Japanese worship of nature, but they have also

historically signified the short but colorful life of the samurai. Sakura emblems

also adorned the planes of kamikaze pilots during World War II.
