The Perfect Weekend in Washington DC

Washington DC is an amazing city to explore with months worth of adventures you could have all around the downtown area. We decided to head to the city for the cherry blossom festival and to see how the cherry blossoms turned the city into a wonderland of pink and white flowers. Here is how we spent a weekend in Washington DC with the whole family and let us know what we left off in the comments!

This was absolutely phenomenal. **You should be writing pamphlets of what to see, for visitors, to an area. NOBODY does it better than you do, wherever you go. EXCELLENT, Josh... The whole family really appeared to enjoy it.🏡🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The kids are growing so fast! I love that the museums are free of charge.

Your videos always make me smile and sometimes even cry! Just because it seems like such a warm, loving committed family that you guys have. Sunny looks a lot like Amy! Thanks for the great photography, phenomenal narrative and warm fuzzies all around! I love Josh, Pops, Sunny, Amy and the rest of your family. Truly glad to hear there's at least one person who has NOT watched The Exorcist! 🙌🏼 Great video.❤️

I just eloped here in DC on the 16th! It was so beautiful & simple. Our photos turned out amazing

Even though it was rainy, that cloudy daytime lighting made for some beautiful videography!

What a great trip to DC. I can’t believe how big your kids are getting Sunny looks more and more like Amy everyday. DC is a great place to take families cuz there is so much to see and do. And the metro is really a great way to get around. But it’s a lot of walking. They will likely enjoy it even more as they get older. Best cupcake I’ve ever had was in Los olivos at a wine tasting place near the end of grand avenue. But you have to go early enough cuz they sell out very quickly. Not sure if it’s kid friendly cuz the cupcakes have a wine flavored center. But oh my! Beyond good. I’ve been to DC several times but I’ve never been to the national zoo. You have to pick and choose your places to go cuz there is so much to do there. I’ve never been during spring. Thanks for posting your trip there.

Great to see Chris and Josh together! Two of my favorite channels!

[KhurshidsChannel]

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. 👍

So glad you got there when you did because all it takes is for a storm to blow all the blossoms away! Which was your favorite memorial? I love them all, but partial to the Roosevelt... Did you know about the gap between trees at the White House? My first year, I did the ranger tour walking around the entire basin. He shared, I don't remember which president, felt every president should wake to see the Jefferson Memorial and the view has remained ever since. I didn't spend much time in Georgetown outside of the canal and Baked & Wired (hands down the best). I didn't even know about the old stone house or steps! (You can go the rest of your life not seeing the exorcist movie). The kite festival was one of my favorite events my 27 years in Metro DC area! The kids are growing so fast!

I love visiting DC. You made me want to go again! Last time, we got to tour the White House. Loved the cherry blossoms. Thanks so much.

Josh's videos are the best!! Love everything about them, and his family is awesome! Love Pop's and the KIDS....❤!!!
They are both SOOOO adorable. Beautiful family! Great vibes! It's always a pleasure watching. ❤❤❤❤❤

This came at the perfect time…my family and I are going to DC next month. Good to know about the Air and Space Museum as that was gonna be one of our stops. And we may have to have a cupcake war ourselves! 😂 Obviously the cherry blossoms won’t be in bloom but we’ll make it there one year during that time. 😁 This will be our first time going with the kids so I’m glad I got to see your kids having fun there. Great video, as always!

Oh Josh, beautiful children.
I went twice to Washington DC. Once with my mother, when she completed 80 years old.
I'm from Brazil.

[billstoys]

We were there at the same time that you were. We had a wonderful time and had some great tours of Congress and the White House with a school group. We had to leave before the kite festival started. You showed us places that we will have to see on our next trip. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Great video. My family would make annual visits to Washington DC. Lots to do and see. We would stay at the Harrington hotel which just recently closed for good. I would park the car and not see it till we left. Our latest trip to Washington DC was by train. Another place we enjoyed was in Alexandria VA where we ate in a tavern that served George Washington and many others. Also a torpedo factory was turned into an artist studios. We've always enjoyed Washington DC. Thank you for sharing. It's one of the best tourist destinations .

Always a great one, Thank you for sharing and taking us along on this wonderful adventure

Wonderful video Josh! Funny that you ran into Chris on the other side of the country.

[StevenMeyerJr]

Your kiddos are growing so fast, they’re so cute. You always seem like such a chipper guy and such a good dad. I would’ve killed to have such a cool dad at that age. Great video, as always!

[johanna]

Your twins are adorable Josh! What a beautiful view of the blossoms. In my town on the Central Coast of CA, we have some lovely trees the always bloom around my birthday in February. 💕
