Washington DC may not sound like the most exciting holiday travel destination for a teen and tween who have spent most of their lives traveling (and visiting far too many museums).
“DC will be boring” my two daughters protested when I told them we were taking our annual holiday season trip this year to the nation’s capital.
So, I appointed myself the difficult task of making a memorable Washington DC vacation for all members of our family. And I’m very happy to say, “Mission accomplished.”
Both of our girls loved their trip to DC. They enjoyed experiencing firsthand many of the places they have seen in films and TV or learned about in school. They loved the extra fun things we did like bike riding, ice skating, and holiday shopping.
If you’re looking for a three-day itinerary for Washington DC that will please your kids, as well as mom and dad of course, then you will enjoy this Washington DC trip I’ve highlighted below.
Is Washington DC a Good Destination To Visit In The Holiday Season?
When Allianz Partners Top 10 Thanksgiving Destination Index came out sharing the top 10 destinations for Americans traveling in the United States for Thanksgiving and the Holiday season, we decided to choose number 9 on the list, Washington DC.
(New York City of course topped the list, followed by Seattle, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas.)
While it might be too late for you to travel to DC for Thanksgiving, Christmas is around the corner and a time that is just as great to experience any of these destinations.
Most of the seasonal Christmas experiences start the day after Thanksgiving, so it’s perfect timing to enjoy them.
About This 3 Day Itinerary for Washington DC
For this trip to DC, we wanted to fit in a few holiday experiences as well as visit the top Washington DC attractions including memorials, museums, and of course, a taste of local culture.
We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and left after lunch on Wednesday, so had a full three days of exploring.
