Things To Do
DC is a historic city and our nation's capitol
There is so much to see and do here and we are very lucky to call this city our home! There is lots of yummy food, beautiful art museums (beside the Smithsonians), hilarious comedy shows, expansive book stores, colorful farmer's markets, historic memorials, and waterfront relaxation, just to name a few! We hope you enjoy your time in our favorite city!
Fredericksburg, VA is just outside DC and right along the Rappahannock River
Established in 1728 and named for Prince Frederick, son of George II, the city developed as a port and trading center. Its strategic position made it a key location during the colonial era, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. There is a lot of history here -- and we invite you to join us in exploring all it has to offer!
