Day tripping in DC ✔️took an Amtrak unknowingly backwards from Baltimore to Washington D.C. for 8 action packed hours.
We arrived just in time for peak day 1 of Cherry Blossom 🌸 season at the Tidal Basin, it was monumental.
We speed dated with 12+ museums. Did you know they’re all FREE for the most part?
We were art focused, went during the week on a moody day, which was crowdless and peaceful.
