I had a phenomenal time, the history the food and the shopping was awesome and refreshing
Was a wonderful experience. Loved using the Bird scooters to get around to major attractions. Loved the natural history and African American history museum.
There's nothing quite like the National's Capital, and Washington, D.C. is a city that needs to be on everyone's bucket list. It's a treasure trove of free, wonderful museums that are chock full of our nation's history, as well as gorgeous architecture. So much history to explore, regardless of your politics.
