Hains Point, a grassy peninsula park in Southwest Washington is a great place to sit and relax, have a picnic or play at the playground. There are  paved paths all along the park where people enjoy walking, biking and running.  Hains Point borders the Potamac River on one side and the Washington Channel on the other side. 

We stopped at Hains Point to enjoy a picnic lunch. We loved watching the planes taking off and landing at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport across the River while we were eating. The children then ran to the playground to play.

As we were leaving the park, I got a pleasant surprise when we came upon rows and rows of cherry blossom trees that were still fully in bloom. Although we missed the cherry blossoms at the Basin we were still able to enjoy the immense beauty at Hains Point.
