Samantha's favorite Smithsonian museum!
Make sure you have plenty of time to visit this museum (and plan to grab food from their delicious food court!). Although it's free, you may want to check the website in advance to book admission.
Grab a bite at Union Market.
Go for a hike along the Potomac River at Great Falls.
After the National Portrait Gallery, walk across the street and grab a drink at Dirty Habit.
Grab a drink across from the White House with a gorgeous view of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.
Walk along the Potomac or go into one of the many restaurants along the wharf!
Another great area to walk along the Potomac, grab a bite, or just enjoy the area!
