24 Hours in Washington D.C.
Even though Washington D.C. is only about 3.5 hours from NYC, we had never been together! Since Shannaβs brother lives nearby in Arlington, Virginia, we went to visit him and decided to explore D.C. while we were there. Washington D.C. is a place with so much U.S. history, but also a really cool vibe as well. We feel like we saw almost everything you could possibly see in 24 hours, so here is our guide to what you need to do when visiting Washington D.C.!
