Fall in Washington, DC
Tuesday, August 22, 2023
It felt great to be back in DC! The only other time I've ever been was during my middle school trip! I recall wandering through some of the Smithsonian Museums, touring the White House, visiting Mount Vernon, watching a reenactment of the Revolutionary War, and more! Unfortunately, since this was a business trip, I did not have a lot of leisure time to revisit these sites or explore other historical aspects of this wonderful nation.

I'd like to preface this by stating that I packed very poorly for this trip. It was beyond humid and of course, the coolest item I brought was a sweater vest and tweed skirt. I still managed to walk up and down the National Mall without huffing and puffing.
My hotel wasn't too far from the National Mall so I spent one of my last days exploring during my free time. The Washington Monument was one of the highlights!
I wanted to pack in as many landmarks as I could into one afternoon so I opted for taking a selfie with the Lincoln Memorial from a distance as opposed to climbing up the steps.
I had pretty bad luck with museums since most were closed after I was done with my meetings. However, I somehow managed to go into the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum one late afternoon. It turns out that the place was open after hours for those attending the conference anyways!
What trip to Washington DC is complete without visiting the White House!?
The White House was just a few blocks from my hotel so I visited it numerous times.

I'm really excited for fall weather too. The past week is been pretty cool for August in Michigan but it's supposed to heat up again by the end of the week... so I'm enjoying it while it lasts! I actually got to wear long pants to work today! :)

You're so lucky, Julia! There's a slight breeze here in Southern California but it's really humid so it leaves me feeling sticky, ick!
DeleteYay, long pants :D I cannot for Fall!
