Our wedding is being held in the Washington D.C. area, where there are many sights to see and things-to-do…here are some of our favorites:

You can have a picnic and take a walk to the scenic overlook that has views of the waterfalls. If you want a workout, hike the Billy Goat Trail.

L.L. Bean Store at Tyson's Corner Mall
See shopping below

Rock Creek Park

Washington, D.C. Attractions
Freer and Sackler Art Galleries – Asian Art Museum
We visited this museum during one of our first dates. You should count how many "cups" and "bowls" there are in the museum.

Old Town Alexandria

National Air & Space Museum - Udvar-Hazy Center

National Gallery of Art

National Mall
If this is your first time to DC, walking around the Mall is a must- The Lincoln, Jefferson, Vietnam, and WW II Memorials, the Washington Monument, the White House, National Archives, and the Capitol Building. Just keep in mind that the distance from the Washington Monument to the Capitol is 1-1/2 miles.

National Museum of American History

Try the "three-cup chicken" (san bei jie) or the beef noodle soup. You can finish your meal off with red beans and shaved ice.
