One of Craig's favorite museums! You can also check out the Air and Space Museum's Udvar Hazy Center (https://airandspace.si.edu/udvar-hazy-center) in Chantilly (about 35 minutes from DC by car) where you can see the Enola Gay, a Concorde, and a space shuttle.
One of our favorite museums with Asian and near eastern collections. Be sure to check out the peacock room!
Another of our favorite museums where you can see the Star Spangled Banner, Julia Child's kitchen, the First Ladies' gallery, and much more!
Check out the dinosaurs, mammals, and the Hope diamond (not Stephanie's engagement ring).
The historic Georgetown neighborhood has excellent shops and restaurants as well as a beautiful waterfront.
The newly opened Wharf is a great place to walk around by the water. We recommend a drink at Whiskey Charlie.
A fun neighborhood with restaurants, bars, and shops. We're fans of brunch at Le Diplomate, dinner at Doi Moi and hitting all of the furniture stores along the way.
Craig's favorite bar in DC (and maybe the world) with the one of the largest selection of scotch and other whiskies in the world.
Have a drink with great views of DC on top of the landmark hotel.
