Things To Do
National Mall Sightseeing
The DC Classic hits. You really can't miss these if you haven't seen 'em already. NOTE: Pharrell Williams is throwing a music festival (Something in the Water) on the mall this weekend, so you may want to check out their website to try and avoid throngs of festie folk!
Other DC History Stuff (Not on the Mall)
There is so much in DC, we really can't get close to listing them all. We honestly don't even want to type them out, so take a look at this website for some additional fun ideas that are not listed here.
Something In the Water Music Festival
This fun looking (but costly) fest will be going on during the wedding weekend. Feel free to go as long as you don't miss any of our wedding events :)
Wharf Water Taxi
From the Wharf Water Taxi Website: If you’re checking out the region’s waterfront destinations, there’s no better way to travel than by water taxi. Come to The Wharf’s Transit Pier to catch a ride to Georgetown in DC, Old Town Alexandria in Virginia, or National Harbor in Maryland—and enjoy the scenic views of the nation’s capital from the Potomac. This would be a fun thing to do, especially if you are staying at the Intercontinental. It's right downstairs! Alexandria and Georgetown are both great places to roam around during the day. The National Harbor is also fun if you like casinos.
Nationals Park
Check the Nats schedule to see if you can get into a game this week!
Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
This is a great and funky Smithsonian museum. We love the Renwick!
Rock Creek Park
Loads of fun and varying hiking/biking trails if you need a tree bath while you are here.
Dacha Beer Garden (Shaw)
A great beer garden if the weather is nice!
Historic Georgetown
Georgetown is a wonderful place to walk around -- with great shops and food. Meander on M Street, walk up Wisconsin Ave, and tool around through the neighborhood. The homes are stunning!
Union Market
A fun marketplace with great food, shops, and vibes.
