We enjoyed our day with Alan touring Washington DC on a very cold day just after a snowstorm tried to shut down the city. Between the snow, President Carter’s funeral the day following our tour and the upcoming Presidential Inauguration, many venues around town were unfortunately closed. Alan planned around the closures and took us to Ford’s Theater, the National Archives and Arlington National Cemetery. After a short late afternoon break we met up with him again for a beautiful night time tour of the National Monuments. We enjoy eating at family owned restaurants vs. traditional chains, so for lunch he suggested a wonderful Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. It hands down was the best meal we ate in our short time in DC. We enjoyed our day and would recommend both of these tours to anyone wanting to experience the city at their own pace, while learning about the history of it all from a guide who loves to share his knowledge of US history.
