Where to stay and what to do in DC
rain or shine, we love dc
We hope you get to enjoy some of our beautiful city while you’re here.
SHINE
Walk the National Mall: We’ll likely be too late for cherry blossoms, but the tidal basin is always lovely in spring.
Visit the National Zoo: Conveniently located just a 15 minute walk from the Broadmoor
“Hike” Rock Creek Park: Many options with varying levels of commitment
Enjoy a drink at Heurich House: Outdoor beer garden in the lawn of a historic home
RAIN
Visit Smithsonian museums: Glenn suggests the National Museum of Asian Art on the National Mall and Darcy loves the Portrait Gallery in Chinatown
See a movie at E Street Cinema: Where Glenn and Darcy got engaged!
Get lost in the Mansion on O Street: A kooky and delightful historic home that can’t be described, may require reservations
