Cherry Blossom Run

Unfortunately peak bloom in falling the middle of the week this year, but there should still be plenty of blooms for us on the 31st. Be sure to pack a coat as it will likely be a bit chilly when we get to the basin, but it is worth it for the morning views.

Come join us on a casual cruise up the George Washington Parkway along the Potomac River through Old Town Alexandria to the Hain’s point (approx. 35min drive). We should arrive as the sun is rising on Washington D.C. and the cherry blossoms. We will enjoy the blossom being sure to capture the great photo ops with our cars for an hour (or a bit longer to not rush). We will be departing the basin and enjoy some roads as we wind our way around Tyson’s Corner and back down into Fairfax (approx. 1 hour and 30 min) ending at Brion’s for brunch and enjoy each other’s company. A great way to enjoy your MINI and friends and still have the rest of your Sunday
