One of Medici girls' favorite DC events, the National Cherry Blossom Festival runs until Sunday, April 14 in Washington, DC. Head there at crack of down for prime parking and minimal tourists.
Great Falls National Park is 15 minutes away from the wedding location. Check out the falls and get in a quick hike before the wedding!
Great Falls Village Center is home to The Old Brogue, the Irish pub where Matt and Lisa met. Katie's Coffee is where Cars and Coffee, a display of antique, classic and exotic cars, happens every Saturday morning from 7am - 9am. The Great Falls Creamery is right around the corner and has awesome homemade ice cream.
The DC area is home to hundreds of cultural and historical sites, including museums, monuments, shopping and restaurants. Street parking is free on Sundays and the Metro transit system makes getting into the city convenient at any time of day. Pro tip: if you have kids, skip the tourist sites and just ride the Metro all day! Yay trains!
