    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.

    You might know Delaware as the corporate capital of the U.S., but the country's second-smallest state offers much to explore. Delaware's beaches, wildlife refuges and state parks rejuvenate work-weary urbanites. The Winterthur estate dazzles with exquisite American furniture, decorative arts and lush gardens, while Hagley Museum and Library tells the story of how the family earned a fortune manufacturing black powder.

    ----By Candyce H. StapenA bounty of good food awaits at the Delaware shore, a popular year-round escape for Washingtonians and other Mid-Atlantic residents, and the off-season proved to be one of the best times for a seaside culinary journey to the Rehoboth Beach region. The lack of crowds made getting table reservations easy, and the reduced price of lodging enabled my husband and me to fatten our food budget. As we ate our way through delectable plates, "beach food" took on a whole new meaning.
