Yes, we were in Washington D.C. for Christmas this year. Chaco moved to the area for work a little over a year ago, and this was Magnum's and my first visit since then.
Wolfgang and Meego had been out there in the spring, and they joined us this round as well. So all 5 of us were together for Christmas, and they were able to help Chaco with the tour-guidin'.
I'd never been to D.C. before, and I 10/10 recommend it as a destination! Maybe not during the holidays since holiday travel can be a hassle with crowds and potential weather delays. The weather gods shone upon us, though, with mild weather for the duration. D.C. was quite crowded, however. Chaco said he'd never seen it so, even last Christmas from what he remembered.
But we couldn't complain, since we ourselves were part of that fray, so we moved about with the masses.
SO much to see and do there - Museums! Memorials! Statues! People! People! Lotsa People!
I can't choose a favorite attraction, everything had much to offer. And thank gosh for the Metro!
I didn't take many photos, as is typical for me I suppose. Enjoying the moment and then later thinking, "hmm, maybe I shoulda taken some pics"
Christmas Day was our first full day there, and we saw the national Menorah Lighting from a distance. Meanwhile, we wandered over to the National Christmas Tree display on the Ellipse and quickly located the Colorado tree

Even though D.C. is not necessarily a typical winter destination, the holiday flair was a bonus.

Oh wow- that is a very cool thing to have done. There is SO much there- we spent nearly all of our time @Smithsonian and art museum. I am glad that you did that now rather than when the orange gas takes over. Happy new year- as they say!!
Linda Sue, every day was a new and grand thing to check out and appreciate, as you know. Great trip!
