    Thanks Rob!! Finally decided to be there next April. Can’t wait. Our best memory still was the tour we did with you April 2022. So much more left for us to see and do!
  • I have visited Washington, DC, three times and loved what I saw. I toured the White House, the US capitol building, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Smithsonian Institution, the Historical Society, and the Air and Space Museum. I also went to the Arlington National Cemetary in Arlington, Virginia. I enjoyed my time in the nation's capital!

    Can’t thank you enough for all this helpful info!!
  • Thanks Rob! I realized that I need to come back and see all the ones that I missed on my last trip!

    Wow great video . This will help my wife and i when we go to washington dc later this summer. On a side note you have a voice that is made for a radio broadcaster. You should look into it.
  • We did the Bible museum plus most of those in the video. You're videos were so helpful We stayed in a yurk at a campground called Cherry Hill. Such a great time.

    My husband and I watched every video that pertained to what things we needed to know. It was immensely helpful. One thing I found out my own was Senior Smart trip cards can only be purchased at Metro stores. We got ours at Rosslyn with the help of metro workers who let us ride free to get our cards. We started at Spring Hill, and before long we felt confident to go anywhere. Thanks for all your help.
  • 50 things might take me all year! There are so many great places to check out and thanks so much for your videos and the tour we got last week!
  • @kirschdiebin
    Great video! We’ve been in dc in May and will visit again in December because there’s still so much things to do and see, and we really enjoyed the history and the city in general! Can’t wait to see this amazing city in winter and with Christmas decorations 🤩
