This is the Cherry Blossom, a private charter boat owned by the Potomac Riverboat Company and docked at the City Marina in Alexandria, Virginia. It is located just to the left of here.
Go to SkyWatch Friday and find skies from all over the world. While you’re there, why not leave a link to your own skies so all can enjoy? Many thanks to Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise and Sylvia for hosting this most ethereal meme!
Beatuiful boat. I’d like to take a ride on it!

Hi Janie. Well, if you’re ever in Alexandria, go get yourself a ticket! And if you’re looking to have dinner, too, there’s the Dandy, a dinner cruise (complete with live music, as I remember).
I’m told an ancestor of mine was a riverboat gambler…which I find much more appealing than my ancestors who owned slaves….then, the riverboat gambler might have used his winnings to buy slaves, but I’ll just hope he wasn’t that successful…

Hopefully, drjay, the adage, “the house always wins” rang true, if he was in fact the sort to make those kinds of purchases. Then again, it’s entirely possible that you’ve inherited your kindness and compassion from him. That’s a nice thought.
Very cool. Looks like something you’d see down in MY neck of the woods!

Exactly Lana. I always think of New Orleans when I see the Cherry Blossom…or “Yancy Derringer.” Don’t know if anyone remembers seeing that old TV show.

Thanks, Anthony. Yeah, me, too. As long as I’ve lived here, I’ve never taken the ride.
Love those paddle boats! Would ride them in New Orleans when I lived there! And what lovely blue skies, lovely clouds! Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks so much, Sylvia. I have never been to New Orleans and imagine that the paddle boats there are a bit more authentic than the Cherry Blossom! A great weekend to you, too!
I think I would call it “The Lemon Tree.” Or paint some red onto it!
It speaks of warmth, and warmth is good!

Hi and thanks, Louise. My guess is that it’s named after the cherry trees in DC. But I kinda like “The Lemon Tree” too. Have a great weekend!
