Come for the history, but stay for the drama!
Washington, DC has a lot of history and most of it has been drilled in your head from middle school. But when you visit you should experience it 1st hand and understand the context, the environment and how the key players lived in this small, but dramatic city.
Most visitors visit Ford's Theater, snap some shots of the infamous booth and move on to the next monument to check off their list.
Not you.
You'll see where the conspirators lived, the route Booth took to avoid authorities and where they were ultimately hanged. You'll get to know the people behind the history and get special insight to this amazing history.
But it wont stop there. Learn about and SEE where Reagan was shot and where President Garfield was assassinated.
Be the envy of your friends with all this awesome new knowledge and experiences!

I am a California native and few places could have torn me away form the beautiful LA beaches. Washington, DC is one of them. I've worked in defense, political campaigns and even went to graduate school here. I am an avid reader, traveler and amateur historian and would love to share my knowledge and love of this city with you. But this city is so much more than history and monuments. It's a great food, arts and festival town. Every weekend there is something new to try. Whether its the National BBQ festival or Artisphere, there is always something fun, interesting and cheap (maybe even free!) for you to do. As a transplant I've had friends and family from around the world come and visit me, so I have a lot of experience tailoring their visits. Just let me know what you need to see, what interests you and I can come up with something that will make your friends jealous! I also love to travel, so I know what it means to have a great trip. I want to show you how the locals live, give you more than just photo ops of our beautiful monuments and leave you with a great understanding of our nation's capitol. I also have a really awesome dog named Rambo and maybe you'll get to meet him too! Full profile ⋅ Leave a Review
