Local Travel Tip

A few years ago I was in D.C. for the fourth of July. Being in D.C. for the Fourth of July is like being in China for the Chinese New Year- there is simply nothing like it.

While there you can feel the American pride soaring in the air. With bands playing the National Anthem, little kids running around everywhere with American flags painted on their cheeks, and then with the added pleasure of a spectacular firework show- you won’t walk away without falling more in love with our country.

One of my favorite memorials in D.C. is the Jefferson memorial. Go there at night when the building and trees are reflected in the Potomac river. Better yet, go at night when the cherry blossoms are blooming on the trees that surround the Jefferson memorial. It is simply stunning.
