Hi Meg- love the idea of your blog! Will be checking it out for sure. I’m glad you’ve found so much to love about the area.

I love this- just moved here from NYC this past summer and I never thought I’d wind up not missing New York. I’m also living in Arlington, and couldn’t be happier with the lifestyle here- perfect pace and much more livable for a twenty-something like myself. And, I’m finding there’s lots of places to explore outside of DC! In fact, just had to start my own travel blog for grad school and I’m doing it on places you can travel to within a tank of gas from the District- check it out if you can belwaytrotting.blogspot.com. Thanks- love your blog!

I definitely agree – I am a DC native – (as in grew up in the DC metro area) – and even attended college in DC (AU). I love DC – it is definitely an understated city. It is cheap in touristy things, though not cheap to live. LOL – I should know. But hopefully, in the next year I’ll be living and traveling abroad! Great post!

It’s funny, I’m always so desperate to go out and travel, but always glad to come back home to DC.

oh, how I miss DC! (I went to college there and lived 4 amazing years!)

Agreed! New york is great and all but it’s no where near as pretty as DC.

I don't know why DC always gets treated like New York's ugly cousin. It's a cool place to travel and very accessible in terms of budget. .-= Anil´s last blog ..The 2010 Hoscars Award Ceremony =-.

you know I think there are a lot of things I haven’t seen here- and I’ve lived here the better part of 25 years!

It’s true- there are a lot of cool government related things you CAN do in DC.

Love it! Even though this is government related, I want to add being able to go to a Supreme Court hearing for free!! B/c DC is the capitol of the US there are just so many things that you cannot experience anywhere else, even New York!

It’s so nice to see an article about DC! I was in American University’s Washington Semester program last fall and there are so many things about DC I fell in love with! The Metro being one of them. I know there are a lot of things that I didn’t see (even though my class site visits had me trekking all over the city!) so I’m hoping to return (I don’t live to far away in Maryland) and do more touristy (and non touristy) things!

Great write up!

I hate paying for museums now!

I never would have thought all those sites were free. I can't wait to get back to DC. I lived in Fairfax as a kid, but I was too young to remember anything. It is one of my first 2 stops when I return home, whenever that may be. .-= Eric´s last blog ..Korean Basketball Game =-.

Love DC! Cool post. And you're so right about all the great free stuff. (God I miss the fun of Dupont Circle and Adam's Morgan!) .-= Nancy´s last blog ..8 Random Things to Know about Visiting Buenos Aires =-.

Nope, I have not! I actually owe you an email about guest posts, but I have been swamped by several other commitments. I'll get it to you soon, I promise. What are the details about the travel happy hour? .-= Kelsey´s last blog ..Tir Y Don Interbaronial Twelfth Night =-.

Yes there is a lot of great free stuff here, you just have to keep an eye out for it!

I love Washington, D.C., and I especially love that most things are free. I lived there for one summer and I was never, ever bored ... or broke! .-= JoAnna´s last blog ..Birds of Huatulco, Mexico =-.
