DMV Yesss yall doing one at home..
Great video! Loved the waterfront and y’all’s style. Man, DC never gets old. We just did a whirlwind 48-hour trip and filmed everything. Sharing it in case it helps anyone planning their own visit: https://youtu.be/56T0Pii2rgg
This is dope…Gonna go in April and use this as a guide…appreciate y'all!
What hotel do you recommend
Awesome vlog. Definitely need to go back and hit some of those places you went to❤
❤
I just returned from DC and we did so much in 4 days. I loved the African American Museum especially the underground levels. My bug thing was going to Ben's Chili Bowl 😆
My girlfriend and I have wound up going to a bunch of the same places as you guys but cool to see a video of where we live this time. Only major thing I would recommend for people that is missing is the Basilica Of The National Shrine in Brookland, really amazing and free
As someone who has lived in the DMV area for 20+ years, I think you guys did great job showcasing the hot spots in DC. Of course there is much more in the surrounding MD and VA area but given this was strictly DC, def a thumbs up
Congrats to my man on landing a gorgeous wife.
I’m from DC Thanks for coming to my city
I lived in DC for 12 years (including next to Malcolm X park) and you definitely covered a lot of ground! The museums are great (not just the Smithsonian, but Rubell and Phillips Collection too). DC offers great cuisine, everything from Indian to Brazilian food.
Love from the DMV
I gotta go back!
Awesome video! I’ve been to DC many times and still haven’t done so much! I’ll have to try again using this guide! 🎉
Great job, you hit all the major spots❤ In case someone decides to drive please be prepared for parking, as it can be costly and hard to find at times!
I just transplanted to the DMV area and this video is really helpful! Will be exploring DC area in Summer, Thank you for the recommendations 🙂
Love your vids, especially when you go to places like Bora Bora are you planning anything like that again soon
high-quality video content!I have one more question:I have a wallet address with TRC20 USDT in it and I have a recovery phrase.:(laugh nominee buzz game expose field wash shoe world sadness bicycle grain).:How do I extract them?
🙏🏿💙✌🏿
Hey Chews😊Wow, I'll be in DC in March‼️😮😊
