    Pedaling along the boardwalk to the rhythmic whoosh of the breaking waves, first on a tricycle and then on a bike, is among my favorite childhood memories. And boardwalks still make me happy. They add fun to the classic American idyll of sun, sand and sea. Two of my favorite East Coast boardwalks unfurl in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Miami Beach, Florida.

    In spring, Washington, D.C., dazzles. That’s when more than 2,500 cherry trees pop into bloom at the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park. The flowers frame the Jefferson Memorial, fringing the artificial reservoir with a lush ribbon of pink and white that’s subtly reflected in the water. The famous site is bucket-list beautiful. Plus, the National Cherry Blossom Festival’s citywide celebrations from March 20 to April 13 add fun. The events commemorate Tokyo’s 1912 gift of the trees to the city.
