There are a ton of lists out there with things to do in Austin, Texas. Austin is a hot place to visit, it provides perfect spring break weather, there’s always a festival happening, and tons of live music.
Late, but not forgetting – WASHINGTON DC Pictures!
I wasn’t going to write an entire post on Washington DC because we were there for ONE day, but it was arguably the best day of our trip so I wanted to share & explain why! Because – spread JOY.
As you may or may not know, Wafiq & I went to Charlottesville, Virginia for one of our friends wedding’s. I’ll get more into the hidden gem that is Virginia & also my ruthlessly honest opinions on traditional weddings coming up next week. Because, wow – do I have some thoughts to share.
But first, Washington DC.
If you’ve ever looked at the state of Texas on a map, you’ll notice it’s too big. And I live in Austin, smack dab in the middle. In order to get to another state & through desert, I either need a plane or an RV type situation. When I looked up Charlottesville, VA on a map & noticed how close cool cities were, I got real envious. These people are so lucky! They can explore new places all the time! I’m sure a lot of Europe is the same way, probably even other countries. Central America, I’m looking at you!
We seized the opportunity because both Wafiq & I have never been to Washington DC & kind of nerd out on that secret political & CIA world. Neither of us are very political & neither of us are lawyers of any kind – but we do watch Scandal.
The BEST suggestion I have if you go to the East Coast & decide to spend just one day in Washington DC, rent a bike a cruise around. Although we didn’t have time for many of the museums, we were able to spend the entire day outside enjoying the weather & seeing the city. Because there are incredibly iconic buildings & history in this area, just taking the bike around tickled our Washington Dc pickle – without overly exhausting us.
I researched the best & perfect things to do in 1 day. Had a jam packed agenda, ready to execute. But decided to ride around instead. It was perfect.
I grew up in Minnesota but I left when I was 18 so I never had the chance to experience Minneapolis in the way I’ve experienced other…
