Things To Do
District Winery
The famed place where Grant and I met and fell in love. Just make sure that you order an entree on half priced bottle of wine night (iykyk)!
National Museum of African American History and Culture
Now more than ever, it is critical to understand, remember, and value our history. From moving historical exhibits to vibrant contemporary galleries, it’s an unforgettable experience that resonates long after your visit. It’s one of the city’s most popular destinations, so we recommend reserving free timed-entry passes in advance.
Check Out a Local Happy Hour
DC is famous for its vibrant happy hour scene. Some of Grant and I's favorite spots include Bar Chinois in Mt. Vernon, Wet Dog Tavern in Shaw, King Street Oyster Bar in NoMA, and Pearl Dive Oyster Palace on 14th St.
Nationals Park
We love attending sports game in DC and baseball games are no exception. There's a chance that a Nationals Game could be playing this weekend and we encourage you to grab a ticket and go if you can (when they release the schedule of course)!
Go-Go Museum & Cafe
The Go-Go Museum celebrates DC's homegrown sound of "go-go", a genre born of fun, rhythm, and community spirit. Visiting the museum lets you explore how this music became the heartbeat of DC Culture, activism, and neighborhood identity. It's a fun and uniquely local stop where you can feel the District's rhythm come to life.
See a Local Show!
DC is home to so many amazing opportunities to see a great live show! From iconic venues like the 9:30 Club to big shows at The Anthem or Capital One Arena, there’s always something happening. It’s a great way to experience the city’s energy and discover new artists between wedding events!
International Spy Museum
Channel your inner secret agent at this interactive museum packed with gadgets, mysteries, and real-life spy stories. It’s playful, immersive, and perfect for anyone who wants to crack codes, test their spy skills, or just enjoy a uniquely D.C. adventure. When you're done, the Wharf is just steps away!
Library of Congress
The Library of Congress is a must-see! Wander through grand halls, marvel at the architecture, and soak up a little history (and a lot of beauty) just steps from the Capitol. Perfect for a leisurely, photo-worthy stop while you're in D.C.!
