Hey everyone and thanks for coming back to read another post on Allison in Wonderland! My boyfriend and I celebrated our two year anniversary in Washington, D.C. this past weekend and I’m so excited to share what we were up to. My very first post on my blog was from this time last year, when we celebrated our one year anniversary in D.C., and I’m so excited to have come full circle! Let’s jump into it!
As I mentioned before, we spent the weekend in D.C. this time last year, so we were excited to come back and do the things we didn’t have time to do last year. We started out at the Library of Congress and it was incredible. It was easily the most beautiful building I’ve ever been in and it wasn’t crowded at all! I had never been to it before because it’s behind the Capitol Building so it gets a little forgotten when you’re exploring the mall, but it’s totally worth going the extra little bit! The architecture was insanely intricate and I’m already dying to go back!
Next on our route was the Capitol Building. We had always seen it just by walking up and down the mall, but we’d never been up close so we decided today was the day! It was neat to be able to get so close to such an important building and it was even cooler with us visiting just days after the inauguration.
After the Capitol Building, we headed to the Botanical Garden. It wasn’t my first time there, but it changes so often that you could go every day and it’d never be the same! Next, we headed right to the National Museum of the American Indian, which is practically right next to the Botanical Garden, and spent most of the afternoon there. They have a lot of different exhibits and they even have some short films playing throughout the day that are worth taking some time to watch! It’s also nice to be able to sit down and give your feet a rest after running around all day. 🙂
After we finished up at the museum, we decided to head to the Tyson’s Corner area to grab dinner. We were given a beautiful weekend to spend in Washington, D.C. and I can’t wait to see what we get into when we visit again! Thank you so much for reading and I’ll see you again next Tuesday!
