Traveling to Washington D.C.

Hello everyone!

Topher and I went on a trip to Washington D.C., and we just had to share with you all! First of all, can you believe it was my first time there? I know! You would think by the time I was 40 years old I would have gotten around to our nation’s capital at least once!

Before we get started, let me apologize in advance for the fact that we didn’t bring our “fancy” camera on this trip, so the pictures aren’t up to par … but they were as good as we could do with our iPhones.

Once we arrived in town, we checked into the Ritz Carlton. Staying at the Ritz was another first for us. How fancy do we sound saying we stayed at the Ritz? Before you start to hate us … just know this was paid for by Topher’s business, and it isn’t a normal thing for us.

As you can imagine, this place was gorgeous! From the swanky rooms, to the to-die-for crystal chandeliers, this place was the bomb! The customer service, from the front desk, to their room service, it was bar none.

Topher was actually in DC for a work function, so we did all of our sightseeing in one day (in case you’re wondering why we never change our clothes). We took a bus tour to all of the sites, and we highly recommend doing this as you don’t have to worry about finding your way around, finding a place to park, and the bus stops were definitely long enough to see all that we needed to see….Read More

We are recent empty nesters who are looking for adventure! We can't wait to explore on planes, trains, ships or even just a short car ride away! We would love to have you join us along the way!
