I was traveling in the area, and since I am familiar with this chain, I figured I would stop in for breakfast. This restaurant and store combo is super cute inside. They have a decent sized food menu with exceptionally reasonable prices. I ordered the Grandma's Sampler with a cup of coffee (with refill), and everything came to well under $20 and it tasted great. Since I went on an early morning weekday, the service I received from my server Katie was pretty quick. I also checked out the little store prior to leaving. The prices are a bit steep, but everything looks of good quality, and the store is well stocked and organized. They have really great gift ideas for any season and for all ages. A major plus is that they have a good-sized parking lot on the premises. I definitely recommend checking this location out, and I will be sure to stop by again the next time I am in the area.

I am totally shocked that this museum, along with the other ones I have visited while staying in DC, is free (with the exception of the planetarium). This place is truly fantastic. It has so much to see, some of which are interactive. The exhibits are well maintained, organized, and clean. My favorite exhibit was that of all the planes. I thought it was so cool to see the very first "flying car" that was ever created. Word to the wise though....even though this museum is free, you do need a timed ticket to enter. Don't be discouraged for the long lines as they move rather quickly, and you can be inside the museum within 10-15 minutes after your timed ticket. They have a cafe and gift shop that is definitely worth checking out. Overall, this place is great for all ages, and it could really bring out the nerd in all of us.

I love Natural History Museums and this one is truly fantastic. It is just as great as the one I visited in New York City, and what makes it even better is that it is free, with the exception of the butterfly exhibit. They have so much to see that you can literally spend the entire day here. Kids would not only enjoy the butterflies but the live bug and interactive cell phone exhibits as well. The museum itself is well maintained and clean, and there really isn't too much of a wait time to enter once you get past security. Be sure to check out the nifty gift shop before you leave to pick up a souvenir or two. I definitely recommend anyone visiting the area to check this place out.

I added this restaurant as a go-to after seeing a post about them on Instagram. I stopped in yesterday for brunch after peach picking, and I immediately loved the vibe of this place. I was greeted very warmly by the hostess, and my server, Gina, was friendly and attentive. The restaurant space itself is large and very comfortable, and the food and service are great as well. I ordered the Dry Aged Burger, and it was flavorful and juicy. The fries that accompanied the burger had the right amount of seasoning and had a nice crunch. They have decent sized menus for food and drinks, and everything is reasonably priced, in my opinion. In closing, I was very happy with my first experience here, and I look forward to dining here again in the future.

This is truly one of the must-see museums in all of Washington. I visited this past 4th of July holiday, and I was blown away by all the fantastic exhibits that they have on display. A person would need two visits in order to see everything. This museum, which is under construction, is very large and well maintained. Security can be very strict, which is understandable. This place has a lot of pieces from well-known artists. They also have several cafes and gift shops to check out during your visit. Overall, if you are an art lover, then I recommend checking this place out. It is absolutely spectacular and the price of admission is even better.....free.
