Mike and Derek are Visiting Washington DC in 2015
Mike and Derek should check out the U.S. Capitol or pay a visit to Smithsonian. Yes, they are in Washington D.C. Have you been there? Would you recommend that those two guys go there? I would. It is nice to go there in spring to enjoy cherry blossoms. They are so beautiful. Hope they will really enjoy the 2015 vacation.
You can choose a traditional D.C. adventure, filled with tours of classic attractions like the White House and the Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum. And there's no better way to experience iconic D.C. than with a stroll around the Tidal Basin. (Plan to visit in late March or early April —just in time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival — and you'll be rewarded with a canopy of beautiful pink blooms.)
But if you've already seen the national landmarks, get a feel for the city's more youthful ambiance, highlighted by its urban neighborhoods, marquee art galleries and vibrant farmers' markets. Follow foodies to Eastern Market, where Capitol Hill residents shuffle through stands for the freshest produce and trendiest clothing (before working their way through a mile-high stack of pancakes).
Afterward, peruse the high-end stores peppering Georgetown or rub shoulders with savvy Washingtonians at the many bars and music joints crowding the U Street Corridor. While you'll only need a few days to see the city as you know it from your history book, it could take months to experience the Washington that today's locals know and love. Mike and Derek need a Washington DC vacation in 2015.
