NATIONAL MALL AND MUSEUMS
The National Mall Washington DC, DC 20007
If you live in DC, skip to #2 until your family comes in town....again. If you're visiting, this is obviously the thing you wiil want and need to do. The monuments and museums of the Mall display America's greatness to the world. That's right, America is great! Gotta problem?
SHOPPING IN GEORGETOWN
Start at M & Wisconsin, NW Washington DC, DC
There is a reason why the residents of Georgetown refuse to allow a subway stop to be built near them. It's because they don't want the riff raff ruining their amazing set up. Great shopping, great restaurants, great people to look at. It's got it all so head on over....if you're worthy. If taking a bus, just quit and go home, bus rider.
STROLLING THROUGH OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA
Start at Washington and King Alexandria, VA
Ever wonder how George Washington did his Sunday shopping? Where did he buy cute presents and have coffee? Did he enjoy a tall ale after looking through doggie boutiques? Old Town is the quintessential small 1700's town that is great for a weekend stroll and buying things to set on that table in the hallway or the shelves in the dining room.
DRINKS ON THE RIVER
1201 Eye Street, NW Washington DC, DC 20005
Although DC is suffering from a self inflicted wond of 'long river-no bars', you can still go to the only options available at the Georgetown Waterfront, Old Town Alexandria or Cantina Marina. As boats pull up and show off their might, order another Planters Punch and dream of the boat you'll someday have when your ship comes in.
TOURING CAPITOL HILL
US Capitol Washington DC, DC
If you need to put feet to pavement to enjoy the afternoon, Capitol Hill is as good a place as any. From Union Station, to the Capitol grounds, to the Supreme Court to the shops and restaurants along Penn Ave., you'll find something to look at and do, trust us.
RENT A BOAT ON THE CHESAPEAKE
48 South River Rd Edgewater, MD 21037
(410) 956-9729
Go to southriverboatrentals.com and rent a sailboat or powerboat for the day. These guys are down to earth and will treat you right. The boats are decent quality and the location puts you in the heart of the bay 30 minutes from the dock. Great way to spend a summer Saturday. Just be sure to schedule well in advance and have a water savvy friend who can navigate the sometimes unforgiving bay.
