Things To DoThings To Do
Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art MuseumRenwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
This is our favorite gallery in the District - A little off the beaten path of the mall, but always has some good installations.
Great Falls ParkGreat Falls Park
Great hikes with fantastic views. Fun fact: Alex just finished a design project at the overlooks! Not so fun fact: unfortunately, it's not constructed yet (use that good ol' imagination)!
United States Botanic GardenUnited States Botanic Garden
Plants, plants, PLANTS. The gift shop has great finds as well (including on sale grow-your-own-mushroom kits).
O Museum in The MansionO Museum in The Mansion
A museum with too many rooms with too many festive objects to count. You'll be lost in the sauce for hours here.
GeorgetownGeorgetown
Shopping, food, and bars galore. An especially nice walk over the bridge from Rosslyn.
Glen Echo ParkGlen Echo Park
If there's room to book a pottery class, definitely do it! This is where we got engaged and it has a charmingly haunted feel. A must see right over the bridge to Maryland.
Cafe KindredCafe Kindred
Claire LOVES an oatmilk latte made by Sebastian. Great bakery and English inspired breakfast.
Dogwood TavernDogwood Tavern
This is one of our favorite restaurants of Falls Church. All of the waiters are incredibly weird but their food is great and the outdoor covered patio is great to stay out of the heat.
SpacebarSpacebar
Whether in need of a beer, grilled cheese, or their famous totchos, Spacebar has you covered. Alex frequents this location after late nights at work and this place is a staple for both Claire and Alex when in need of a craft beer.
