is awash in delicate white and pink blossoms. Free events during the<br />

2-week-long festival in early April include cultural performances, fireworks<br />

and a parade. <strong>The</strong>re’s no charge for the main event - the stunning<br />

trees framing the Tidal Basin and around the Washington Monument.<br />

Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Jamaica is a popular spot for the spring-break party<br />

crowd, but families can find fun for a bargain at the Beaches Boscobel<br />

Resort and Golf Club. This all-inclusive resort boasts 5 restaurants, 6<br />

bars and 1 super cool water park with 9 twisting slides and kiddie pools.<br />

Sanibel Island, FL: Spring break falls during Sanibel Island’s high season<br />

the sandy shores is at its best.<br />
