Hope & Nathan
See This! Do That! Eat These!
Bruster's Real Ice Cream
Homemade fresh ice cream. You need this in your face. Enough said.
First Watch - Rockville
This is our go to brunch spot, when we manage to roll Nathan out of bed on Hope's rare off day. Wonderful breakfast foods from fresh ingredients. Note that they're only open until lunch time.
Lincoln Memorial
The Lincoln at Sunset is the most quintessentially DC thing you can do... not to mention stunning. Look out across the Reflecting Pool, explore the pavilion, then take a short, lovely walk around to the Vietnam and Korean Memorials, with a view of the Washington Monument looming overhead.
Mosaic Theater Company of DC
Hope's home base theatre! She won't be on a show (cause wedding!), but there's bound to be something exciting on the boards!
Hanaro Sushi
Get your sushi on! We've spent more than one occasion here... They do the sushi boat!
ArcLight Cinemas - Bethesda
It might be a bit humid for you West Coast folks... Duck into our regular movie haunt to catch a movie and get out of the heat.
Clyde's of Gallery Place
One of the most DC-feeling places in DC. Come in for a wide assortment of eats, including an oyster happy hour! There's also a location in Chevy Chase, if downtown is too far.
National Portrait Gallery
Art, art, and more art. Enjoy the paintings, catch a free concert in the covered courtyard, or stroll over to see the recently added portraits of President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama.
