About Washington, DC

​

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as just Washington or just D.C., is the capital city and only federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its remaining sides.

What I love about DC are the big streets and people everywhere. I used to live in Stafford, VA and I first visited DC in 2007. Being from WV, it was quite a cultural shock

for me visiting DC for the first time, but I loved it!

As we were driving through the city, I saw all of the business men and women walking

to lunch and they were wearing their tennis shoes and holding their business shoes in their hands. I thought that was so cool! I don't blame them. Wearing business shoes

will slow you down when you have to get somewhere fast to eat and then back to work.

That is something that I will never forget.

It's something you just don't see in the movies.

One day, I want to visit again. Please visit if you
have never been. There are so many museums
and restaurants to visit and site seeing.

*Below is a video that I took on my first trip to DC. I got confused at the end of the

video and said it was the White House that I was filming and I later learned it was not. LOL! It was the US Capitol Building. I love this video!
