National Mall
Ok, yes, this is a tourist must do, BUT it is beautiful and always fun to wonder the National Mall, we catch ourselves here all the time. Its beautiful and lined by FREE museums. However, warning, its longer than you think! It is 3miles one way - est. 1 hour walk!
Bike the Mt. Vernon Trail
Red capital bikes are all over the city, rent one using your phone and bike the trail. We recommend starting at Theodore Roosevelt Island Parking Lot, stop by Old Town Alexandria, and head to Mt Vernon (George Washington's estate). This section is 10 miles long, primarily flat, and est. 1 hour bike without stopping (however, we do recommend you stop!)
Theodore Roosevelt Island
Take a walk around Theodore Roosevelt Island, its a beautiful nature trail overlooking the water. Casual and flat.
Metropolitan Beer Trail
Metropolitan Beer Trail (MBT)...it is really called Metropolitan Branch Trail, but this walking path links 11 breweries and bars which stretches from Union Station northward through the neighborhoods of NoMa, Eckington, and Brookland. Let us know if you make this an event, we live on the trial so we will join you! And yes....we have the Tshrirt!
Pedalboat the Tidal Basin
On a beautiful day, it's a great way to see MLK monument, Thomas Jefferson Monument and sneak a peak at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial (Chloe's favorite!). When you see photos of DC's cherry blossoms, this is the basin that the photos are from!
Sports Games
Catch a Nats game (baseball), United (men's soccer) or Spirit (women's soccer)! We will likely try and arrange a Nat's night for anyone who is in town and interested so that we can have a section together, followed by a staple of ours...post-baseball Karaoke! Please let me know if you are interested! More details to come...
National Zoo
FREE zoo with wonderful animals - Chloe's favorites are the Elephants.
