The zoo is free! To get there, we’d recommend getting off at the Cleveland Park Metro stop (Kaitlin’s old neighborhood), for a downhill walk to the zoo and lots of great food options.
Probably Sam’s favorite Smithsonian museum and worth the drive out there. There’s also an Air and Space museum in DC on the Mall for a more accessible option.
A short walk from the Rosslyn Metro stop
Close to the Mall and Capitol Building. Our favorite part is the orchid room.
This is where we got engaged! It has great views of the Potomac River and is close to our venue.
A DC institution. Sam is a fan of the half-smoke, Kaitlin is a fan of the chili cheese fries, and we both love the banana pudding.
One of our new favorite Italian restaurants in DC, and we would highly recommend it for brunch where they serve both pasta and cornetto pastries.
