Tuesday's Travel To Do- Washington D.C.

Back in 2000 I went on a trip with a bunch of my 8th grade classmates to Washington D.C.  It was an amazing trip and I won't dare upload any of the horrid pictures from that awkward looking stage in my life.  To be honest I wanted to go on the trip to be away on spring break and to also just go somewhere, it wasn't because I was sssooo interested in history or so very patriotic.  Now that I'm older and have learned more about history and also participated in a few historic events, (Iraq) I am still not the most patriotic person but I do appreciate it way more.  I would love to go back to Washington D.C. to revisit all the beautiful monuments and walk through the museums and probably REALLY SEE these things for the first time....or the first time from this perspective.

With that being said, if you haven't guessed it by that little intro or the ever so obvious title then I guess I'll go ahead and tell you ....

this week's Tuesday's Travel To Do is WASHINGTON D.C.






Where to stay
I'm sure there are some amazing hotels in D.C. and surrounding areas but as far as I'm concerned Marriott is the only hotel that exists....I love the Marriott and the below hotel looks like a great pick.  Not only is it beautiful but it is on the famous Pennsylvania Avenue...the same street as the White House and it is walking/biking distance to all the great sites that I would be venturing out to see.

JW Marriott Washington, DC  331 Pennsylvania Avenue NW · Washington, DC 20004 USA

What to do

There are a million things to do in D.C. but the below things are the obvious tourist attractions and the places I remember being really neat that I would love to revisit.

The Smithsonian

Washington Monument

Lincoln Memorial

Thomas Jefferson Memorial

Capital

Supreme court

White house

Library of congress

Holocaust museum

helpful Websites

I found a couple websites that seem pretty helpful, informative, and fun.

• http://foodtruckfiesta.com/  is a website that tracks all the food trucks and food truck events in D.C.  I love little hole in the wall restaurants, they are always the best so what better way to find good food than a moving hole in the wall?  It's bound to be amazing... if not food than just experience.  If I get a chance I will definitely use this site.
• http://washington.org/ is a website that is all D.C. from tours to itineraries and would be helpful in planning your short weekend get-a-way or a week long visit.

Now that we have a bed to sleep in and places to see all we need are plane tickets....Happy Traveling!
