Gino
2016-04-12
The Cheery Blossom trip was very fast paced, but we did see a lot for a very reasonable cost! Hotel outside the D.C. AREA was very pristine and enjoyable. The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn was outstanding. Stopping in Pittsburg was a real treat and of course D.C. is ALWAYS patriotically interesting. Weather was ideal, but unfortunately the CHERRY BLOSSOMS were only 30 percent. Lastly, the Amish meal was DELICIOUS and our BUS driver was outstanding.
I recommend this tour! 1 1
