Things To Do
Hirshhorn Museum
Stop by Amy's workplace! The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is the Smithsonian Institution's museum of modern and contemporary art. Entry is free, and hours are 10 am - 5:30 pm.
United States National Arboretum
We love the National Arboretum! You can explore gardens, walking trails, historic columns, and more!
National Mall
By day or night the National Mall is worth a visit! Flanked by the US Capitol and the Washington Monument, the Mall is lined with Smithsonian Museums (National Museum of Natural History, National Museum of American History, Air and Space Museum, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, National Museum of African American History and Culture, and many more) and the National Gallery of Art, which are all free and open daily from 10 am - 5:30 pm. The grounds are a beautiful outdoor walk, and walking west will take you to important national monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial and reflecting pool, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and those at the Tidal Basin (Jefferson Memorial and FDR).
Union Market
Union Market is home to an incredible variety of local food vendors as well as a Yoko Ono mural sponsored by the Hirshhorn Museum.
