Planning 2024 Washington D.C. trip to see Cherry Blossoms

Next year my boyfriend and I want to plan a week long trip. He suggested Washington D.C. because we’ve both never been and we love museums. However, if we go, I really want to see the Cherry Blossoms. But I understand it’s hard to predict because it matters a lot about the weather leading up to the peak bloom. How does someone plan a trip with the intention of seeing the blooms? Do you take data into account and hope for the best? Or do you plan the trip once peak bloom has been announced? Though that seems risky as I assume Airbnb’s and hotels and flights will be crazy expensive and hard to find.

Edit: I was thinking March 21-28 would be a good date as the last few years peak bloom was around March 20
