              <text>The paddle boats on the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/430"&gt;Tidal Basin&lt;/a&gt; have been a popular activity for the city’s residents and tourists since the late 1930s. Today, the boats provide visitors with unique views of the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/31"&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/27"&gt;Franklin Delano Roosevelt&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/156"&gt;Martin Luther King Jr.&lt;/a&gt; memorials. Available March through October, the boats are especially popular during the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/480"&gt;Cherry Blossom Festival&lt;/a&gt; when the Tidal Basin’s beautiful &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/24"&gt;cherry blossom trees&lt;/a&gt; are in full bloom.</text>
