Touring Washington DC with a Young Teenager

February 23, 2020 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

When my son finished 6th grade, I promised to reward him with a trip to anywhere he wants, as long as it was centered on American history. I am a firm believer that true learning happens through classroom theory is paired with experiential learning. So we set out on a long weekend to bring his history lessons, past and future, to life. After a week of research and contemplation, he selected Washington, D.C. as his destination. Off we went on a … [Read more...]

In 1862, National Hawthorne wrote, "The Willard may be much more justly called the center of Washington … [Read more...]

Washington D.C.: 11 Great Sites in a Day

December 29, 2018 by Steve TaylorLeave a Comment

In the summer of 2017, I was in Charlestown, WV on business and it occurred to me that Washington D.C. was only a couple of hours away. At the time I was working to develop my photography hobby into a potential career, and D.C. seemed like an excellent place to get some good practice shots. I was currently learning the settings of my first DSLR camera and some entry-level techniques for capturing images. I was no Mike Carano, but as I played with … [Read more...]

August 10, 2015 by Lara Pole1 Comment

Sometimes, the most beautiful places you have left unexplored may be in your very own backyard. Now, I don’t literally mean the backyard of your house (although, that also may encompass of a lovely garden your wife busily planted away).

Visiting the United States of America, Where to start?

January 21, 2015 by Dave2 Comments

In my opinion quality always trumps quantity when traveling and because of America's large size I recommend visiting specific parts of the country rather than trying to see it all. And make multiple … [Read more...]
