In the DC area you never run out of things to do – unless you get tired of driving or walled in by traffic …. But seriously in an area that includes three states – or five of them if you want to count West Virginia and Delaware there really is a lot to see if you don’t mind driving and have a good GPS. Ask a local what they do for fun and apart from the wealth of monuments and the wealth of museum experiences offered by the Smithsonian, some might mention picnics along the Potomac, and shopping at the Leesburg Outlets. But who better to take tips from than one of the area’s most famous locals, First Lady, Michelle Obama published in the May issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine.
Michelle Obama says her daughters enjoyed visiting the Newseum DC’s most interactive museum, and historic attractions like Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the Frederick Douglass’ home, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, George Washington’s estate, and nature attractions like Luray Caverns in Virginia.

After this fascinating virtual tour of the handsome Frederick Douglass home in Anacostia, DC, you’ll definitely want to see it in person.
And while many of these attractions are in Virginia, this doesn’t mean the Maryland side is lacking in attractions. BTG recommends the Baltimore Harbor, and Annapolis where you can take boat rides on the Chesapeake bay. The African Museum at the Smithsonian in DC belongs on a “must see” list for the area.
