DC area resident here for 50 yrs. Nicely done video! I wanted to point out, the names on the wall of the Vietnam memorial are not of those who served - they are of those who died in that war or remain missing. That is what makes it so striking.

I went there like 2 weeks ago and used your video as a guide of where to go, it worked well and I got to see the solar eclipse!

Enjoyed your video, thumbs up for all the nature you included- birds, squirrels and ducks⚘️

[juliannedean]

Loved this one with all the history and the intricate architecture on all the buildings. I love the natural history museums, New York was my favourite but I would love to see that one in Washington too. Dad would be proud of you with that corny dad joke. It looked like you had a really fun day. Miss you both, love you, mum.xx 💕

Nice video, thank you! A word of advice about the food trucks at the national mall, many (not all) of them are operated by one or two organizations, and they often run without permits/licenses and are known by locals to be somewhat of a scam. I've heard many locals tell me that if you do not see prices listed, walk away, unless you are okay paying $18 for an ice cream cone of questionable quality. Also, licensed trucks will be displaying their health certificate in the window. If you don't see that, again, walk away. The park rangers have been working with the DC police to have some of them towed recently, but the operators pay the fine and are back the same day a lot of times, with their co-workers holding their spot open while they are gone.

Hi Jordan and Emily, great video of your time exploring Washington DC. The Time lapse footage by the Washington Monument was amazing with the White clouds streaming above the monument.

Really enjoying these city tours ! Keep up the great work (and the witty puns 😉) !

10 out of 10 for the dad joke Emily 😂monumental vlog 😊

Wow! So many iconic places and I'm surprised so much was free. The Library of Congress is very influential. I studied a library course for a bit and it turns out one of the cataloging systems the Library of Congress came up with for subject headers has been widely adopted worldwide.

We are really enjoying your videos. They are providing such great inspiration for us as we recently started full-time travel ourselves. As Americans, it's particularly fun to watch two Australians experiencing the United States. The National Mall is deceptively large. You see pictures and you think, "I'll just walk from the Capitol Building to the Lincoln Memorial." What's amazing to me (even as a US Citizen) is that all of the Smithsonian Museums are free. Unfortunately, everything else is so $$$$.

Glad you're enjoying yourselves.

You're guys so cute. My wife and I are going to Washington DC. in a couple of week, and we'll try to replicate your "to-do" list over there. Thanks for the great content!

[shannonan]

Would love to see a collaboration with you and the endless adventure. You have such similar styles and interests.

[ilovehouse]

I love all your videos, thanks for what you do! Sad I missed you in NYC. Where are you headed to next? I am off to Romania next week!

[edclairemalapote]

Great video, what month did you guys go?

[N.A.K..]

Hello! Fab video thank you! Can I ask, where did you stay? Thanks x

[Ginger]

You didn't mention the free Circulator busses. Those are both time- and feet- savers

[haso]

When do you home to Indonesia, or rarely

Teddy Roosevelt named it the White House when he was president. Before that, it was simply called "The Executive Mansion."

[mckayballstaedt]

Are you guys South African? I heard “is it” and had flash backs to living in SA
