I was born and bred in Washington, D.C., and we go at least once a year to visit family and friends
and see what’s new at the art museums of the Smithsonian.
It’s a town full of history, culture, water, woods, green space…and romance.
Head to our favorite D.C. restaurant, Lebanese Taverna, in Woodley Park.
Stop into Politics & Prose to hear readings by some of the country’s greatest writers.
Ogle the mansions of D.C.’s political elite in elegant Chevy Chase,
and the stunning, soaring windows and stonework of the National Cathedral.
Even if you’ve missed the early April bloom of the famous cherry blossoms, you can still meander through the best of Spring’s flowers at the National Arboretum and foresty Rock Creek Park.
Here are some resources to help you plan your own “travels with two”
to Washington. D.C.

We reckon it’s time to jump on in the car and see the South for yourself.
