Hello all! Here are some photos from our trip to DC from November last year. It was a very interesting time to go because we arrived on 11/11/25 during the longest government shutdown in US history! So the entire DC area was super dead the whole trip. Really cool to see. And then the government actually reopened while we were there so we were finally able to see a lot of the Smithsonian museums (which is an absolute must when visiting).
I would strongly recommend you obviously visit as many of the monuments and museums as you can but would also say venturing out a bit to Georgetown, The Wharf and trying out some great restaurants in the area are great ideas. DC surprisingly has some of the best food I’ve ever had 😅. The Red Hen and the Unconventional Diner were absolutely amazing!
But yeah always loved DC but this trip was a really unique experience. Oh and I’d also recommend purchasing a month pass for Lime Scooters and riding them around the City. DC traffic is awful and Uner is expensive so riding the electric scooters gives you a fun and convenient way to see so much of the City and save money! Really some of the best times of our trip were riding the scooters! Thank you all!
