Davidsonville, MD

Favorite places in DC

There’s so many great places in DC but my all time favorite would be the Lincoln Memorial. The view from the top of the stairs overlooks the entire National Mall to the Capital and it’s amazing. Definitely a must for everyone to experience!

Favorite places to take out of town guests:

The National Mall is great and everyone should see the White House at least once, a few others are Georgetown waterfront, Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, the eastern market along with various farmers markets around the city.

My favorite way to get around DC:

Definitely Scooters!

Tips or tricks to navigating DC (traffic or bureaucracy or other):

Avoid the State named streets (Massachusetts) during rush hour times and try to stay away from those pesky circles!

Only in DC....

Only in DC can you find that all streets lead to a circle of some sort throughout the city and they’re always tricky to navigate around. Good luck!

Favorite Concert(s):

I always enjoy smaller venues like the 930 club and the Anthem. LP is still my favorite! I keep trying to find a replacement but no one has topped her yet. Jessie J came close though... of course Pink is amazing!

Bucket list items - yet to do...
