Washington, DC

Washington D.C. is known for its prominence in the world’s political affairs, however, it is also a very cool place to visit.

Any walk along the promenades in Washington D.C. is worth it, because of the architecture and street cafes, and the ease with which you can get around the city and see the Capitol buildings, tour an art museum, and look at the Mall from the lawn.

There are bikes which are available to ride, which you can take around the city, biking from one place to another, which was a nice way to see the landmarks in the city.

The Shenandoah National Park has beautiful forests and hiking trails in Virginia, only about an hour and a half away.

The Luray Caverns are also not to be missed. They are in Shenandoah, as well.
