Born and raised Texan, moved to the area a decade ago. Glad you enjoyed it! Come back, there is so much to see and do in this area that isn’t memorials museums and monuments (which are all great of course). Safe travels.

Thanks bud. We met a few Texans on our trip (I was wearing a hat with a Texas college). I think on our next trip we’ll branch out.

Guided tour of the National Cathedral is a must IMO. The Library of Congress is beautiful, and you can get a card while you're there. I held sheet music handwritten by Louis Armstrong. Love the Arboretum.
Also, small thing, but whenever I take visitors to the mall, we stop by the echo chamber outside the Canadian embassy. Always good for a video and a laugh 🙂

If you've got kids, and even if you don't, the National Building Museum is an overlooked gem (though it's not free).

Well, just eliminate the aforementioned manmade stuff and do the rest. Ocean, bay, mountains. Even though the slogan was made up by a beer executive, before it was the hub of Federal Government this really was the land of pleasant living.
