We went to Washington D.C. for our first wedding anniversary. Random, right? We chose here because the flights were cheap. We didn't know what to expect, but we loved it here and enjoyed it more than we thought we would! There was way more to do than... this video I made about it! We went during Memorial Day weekend, which surprisingly, was not busy at all!
