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.
