Washington DC turns 250 this year, and there has never been a better time to actually do it right. In this video I’m breaking down 24 things to do across monuments, memorials, museums, neighborhoods, and food, and even this list barely scratches the surface of what this city has to offer.

The White House is definitely a place I want to stand outside of with a protest sign 🪧 for a few hours😏🌺
We finally have a President who cares for Washington DC public areas. Thank you, Mr. President!!!!!!!
Love DC! This video makes me want to go back. Do a tour with Rob, from trip hacks DC. He has a great monuments tour!
Great video- I think it would take several weeks for me to see all those amazing places and do them all justice. Those falls are gorgeous!😊
I loved the international spy museum, that was really cool. We flew into DC to start a road trip and didn't allow for much time there because I usually feel stressed out in cities but I actually really enjoyed DC and would like to make a return trip 😊
This was great. I’ve been twice as a kid but would love to explore with more now as an adult.
I believe you missed the United States Holocaust Memorial. This too is a somber visit.
We loved Gadsby’s Tavern, old town Alexandria and Mount Vernon when we visited in 2023!
Perfect video, I’m going in September 😊
Bro, I used to watch your videos and follow your blogs since the 'CA through my lens' days.
The hollocoust museum is incredible and moving. The spy museum is whack, don't bother.
You showed Baked and wired cupcakes but I didn’t see it in the video … did I miss something?
The wharf! Our wharf in SW is an awesome place!
As a native Washingtonian, this is an EXCELLENT quick guide to DC touring! Well done! Thanks!!!❤
Number 27- Get mugged
Please go to the National Arboretum, definitely worth while, especially the National Bonsai and Penjing collections!
The District of Columbia only borders 2 states. Can anyone name them???
I like the name on that route 66 sign. Didn't they film a scene from the Joker movie on those same steps? Are there any Gluten-free, dairy free or other dietary alternatives available at any of those places to eat? That would be very helpful to know for those of us with dietary restrictions.
You gave me the National Arts Museum, I'll give you the Library of Congress, and the Nation's Capital Building…I'm not sure my mouth closed the entire time I was in both of those places. The history alone is just incredible! If you go just a ways out of DC, you'll hit Manassas National Battlefield. There are so many places just a ride away from DC. Y'all come back, ya hear 😉
Malcolm X / Meridian Hill Park
Trump fixed it up it's fantastic now
