Things To Do

National Portrait Gallery

National Mall

Take a walking/biking/scooter tour of the monuments and museums along the national mall! Start from the US Capitol Building and make your way through the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and end at the Lincoln Memorial. Along the way, stop by the many FREE Smithsonian Museums, including the Air and Space Museum, Natural History Museum, the American History Museum, among many others.

Bike Mount Vernon Trail

One of our favorite pastimes is to ride our bikes along the Mt Vernon trail for scenic views of DC. There are many options to get on it between Teddy Roosevelt Island and George Washington's Mt Vernon estate in Virginia, with plenty of Capital Bikeshares around the city.

Billy Goat Trail Section A

If you want to get away from the city, a quick drive away is the Billy Goat trail, a moderate 2-3 hour hike with beautiful views of Virginia's great falls.

Smithsonian National Zoological Park

GoBoat Boat Rental - Navy Yard
