🌸🩷 Each year, the National Conference of State Societies hosts the Cherry Blossom program to celebrate the relationship between the US and Japan and the gorgeous Cherry Blossom trees along the Tidal Basin.

This year is particularly special with the gift of 250 Cherry Blossom 🌸 trees to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Program delegates represent their home states and territories to the program and visit the White House, Congress, Embassies, the state department and more.

Here’s a glimpse into the week as a princess 👑
