Washington DC/Baltimore/Northern Virginia

Washington DC/Baltimore/Northern Virginia

DC

DC is our home....ask us for our recs! We recommend visiting if you have the time....better than Baltimore. ;) If you want a larger city vibe that's only an hour away, DC and Baltimore are your best bets. One thing Baltimore has over DC is their aquarium if you want to visit with aquatic friends. If you haven't been back to NoVa in a while, it's also about an hour from Frederick.
