Events - Spring Break/Easter Edition - March 23-31

HOORAY FOR SPRING BREAK!

Besides the museums and all the gorgeous parks that you could visit over the next several days (see our past blogs for places to visit), think about adding one or two of these things to the mix during your time off. One of my favorites is always the Cherry Blossom Festival (several events at various venues) which coincides perfectly with Spring Break this year. We will be at the Blossom Kite Festival for sure!  This listing serves for 2 weekends so our next event post will be on April 5th.
