Being a Tourist: Washington, D.C.














Photos taken by Frannie Bower

As Chloe put it, Washington D.C. is one of those cities where I don't feel weird or embarrassed being a tourist. Usually when I travel I like to blend in with the locals, but this weekend it was all about the selfie stick. We all decided to take Monday off work to explore D.C. I hadn't been since a field trip in sixth grade and we didn't get to see much of it during our festival weekend. We walked seven miles from the capital, Washington Monument, the White House, the World War Two Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. We knew we wouldn't have time to go to any museums, so we thought we'd take it easy, especially since I was feeling the after effects of the weekend. We had a lovely time, but then I bought that pizza hat and ruined everyone photo. No regrets.

    I love DC! I used to live there so you can definitely still be a tourist and resident. No shame there. The food, the culture, the nightlife - they're all great there.

    I've never been to DC but I can imagine how easy it would be to go all out and be all touristy! I feel like you'd stick out if you didn't!

    I would love to visit here when in the states. Looks like a fun day! I did a similar thing recently in London, went back and had a touristy day, it was awesome.
