With hundreds of national landmarks, museums, centers of the arts and cultural experiences, one could really spend a whole week in Washington, D.C. and still not see it all.

For Bonnie and I (and many Washingtonians), the National Mall is so much more than a mega building with great stores and food courts. It’s strolling in the open air among the Smithsonian buildings, seeing the Monuments, the Capitol, and people watching at the Conservatory. It’s visiting the Cherry Blossom Festival in Spring, sampling American Indian cooking at the Native American Museum in Summer, watching the leaves change in the Fall, and ice skating at the Sculpture Gallery in the Winter.

It’s a fun city to explore, especially when you have a good friend to share it with. We had a blast filming our video, it’s too bad we don’t include the bloopers. I’m sure the editor had a big job cutting out all our laughter.

Do you have any trip tips about Washington, D.C. to add?

Hope you enjoy!
