Capitol Building - Washington D.C.

The first place we went to in DC was the Capitol Building, being out hotel was just 2 blocks away! I was completely blown away at the enormity of it! Regal, humongous, historic, stunning. Those were a few words that came to mind when standing in front of the Capitol. It's very hard to walk away from the Capitol Building and not look back. There are so many memorable angles to look at the building from, and I just couldn't get enough!

The Capitol Building also offers tours , so we were all over signing up for that!  It may not seem like much, but when I knew I was taking a tour of a building the President wasn't even allowed into without permission, it was something! The tour was amazing. We got to see the Rotunda, a room with a cool secret talking passageway in it, and some very original documents of the US, such as the original copy of the Declaration of Independence, and the original copy of the Constitution! It was unreal! We even ate lunch in the Capitol and got to sit in House of Representatives!!!

Almost anywhere you are in DC you can see the Capitol Building. The building is the epitome of history, and I guarantee your visit will be nothing but the best!

The Nation's Capitol

Visiting Washington D.C. was by far one of my most memorable trips to date, for many reasons, and I will get into those later. I was there for 4 days, and tried to see everything, which was nearly impossible. In those 4 days, my then-boyfriend and I did a lot, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

As a reader, you may get overwhelmed by all the stuff we did in just 4 days, so maybe grab a glass of water and read on!

Here are some tips on D.C.:
-If you are sightseeing strictly in D.C., fly into Ronald Regan (DCA). It is the closest to the city, about 4 miles. The other 2 airports that serve the city (Dulles International and Baltimore) are 30+ miles away.
-White House Tours can be taken, but sign up for those online 3 months beforehand. If you don't do this, you won't be admitted.
-Dress for the weather, and bring lots of water with you. You may not think it, but there is a lot of walking to be done in D.C., so be prepared.
