I'm an Illegal Alien Tourist in DC - Pt. 2/2 I had a financial appointment in downtown DC this morning and decided to walk around and experience the oddness of a handful of people moving about. Some people are working and there were several getting their running workouts done. The hustle and bustle was no where to be found. The stillness of the #NationalMall was probably only matched by the days around the September 11th attacks. I stumbled across this garden outside the Smithsonian Castle (Mary Livingston Ripley Garden). I'm sure it's peaceful anytime, not just during the pandemic. So yes, I played the silly tourist today, but with the 'Stay at Home' order in place, I really did feel like an illegal alien tourist in DC. . . #dctourism #gardens #creativeart #publicart #ghosttown #birdhouse #thingstododc #seenonmywalk (at National Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0VZ1QHb8Q/?igshid=12x8x8zxpo00z

Keep an open mind while you travel because just because you’re expecting one thing to be a certain way doesn’t mean it won’t turn out to be something different that you end up truly being enamored with. Also, roll with the punches when plans change. Adapt or you’ll cause yourself extra stress and not have a great experience. I went the the Museum of the Bible since there wasn’t a lot open and was pleasantly surprised. My sister and I agreed that you have to look for the things that interest you or that resonate with you because not everything in a museum will strike the same cords in your spirit that others do. So basically we found things that we liked and that is where the memories were made. #museums #art #artexhibition #beyondtheblooms #digitalmedia #technologyrocks #digitalartist #digitalartwork #artwork #dctourism #visitwashington #visitwashingtondc #solotraveler #solomaletravelers #makemories #travelstory #travelstories @museumofbible (at Museum of the Bible) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE162xEDy_7/?igshid=kxxhyxsn4mph

Heritage island and Kingman lake, in Northeast, DC is more or less the same distance away from the U.S. Capitol building as the Lincoln Memorial. Here, the Whitney Young bridge connects East Capitol Street across Kingman lake and the Anacostia river. This lake was envisioned in the 1906 McMillan Commission plan for recreation, fishing and boating, and was created by the Army Corps of Engineers by the early 1920’s. It flows in and out of the Anacostia River, features lily pads, flowering American lotus, and wild rice, and is considered one of the few wild places left in DC. A variety of redevelopment schemes have been proposed or planned here. These included plans to fill in the lake to build a regional airport in the mid 1920’s. Proposals in the 1930’s to build an outdoor theatre & ice rink. A trash landfill was proposed in the early 1960’s, followed by proposals to build an amusement theme park. In the 1990’s, DC and federal officials were open to paving the islands with parking lots for the nearby NFL football stadium, which will be demolished in 2023. Bald eagles hunted here until the mid 1940’s, and only recently returned, with a pair of eagles procreating eaglets last spring at the National Arboretum, about 1.5 miles to the north of this location. This location is no more ambitious of a walk than going from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial, and within cycling distance. There is a metrorail station nearby, Stadium Armory station. And yes, we can take you here on a long pedicab tour along the Anacostia riverwalk trail, a paved multi-use pathway. Recently last spring, a male turkey or “Tom” was zealously patrolling this trail, perhaps to protect his nesting brood, but reports indicate he has moved on. #WashingtonDCtour #WashingtonDCtours #WashingtonDCtravel #WashingtonDCvacation #WashingtonDCbusinessTrip #dctours #dctour #DCtrip #WashingtonDCtrip #DCMetroTours#DCmetrosystem #DCMetrorail#washingtonDCpedicab #dcpedicab #wheelthepeople #dckidstour #dcstudenttour #FamilyTravel #DCtourism #AnacostiaRiver #AnacostiaWatershed #AnacostiaRiverwalkTrail #WildTurkey #Turkey #Turkeys #DCbiketrail #DCbikepath (at Kingman Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWvujYLb4W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hot in DC?

Hot out? Stick to shade -- deep shade - try US Natl Arboretum's Fern Valley or Franciscan Monastery's grotto - see: DCgardens.com for more shade garden ideas.

My favorite museum in D.C. is easily the National Gallery of Art, as well as it’s sculpture garden. With the surrounding architecture, museums and monuments, it’s no surprise it can often get overlooked. Still, it’s a great place to wander through or hang out on a sunny day. 🌳🏛🎨👩‍🎨 #washingtondc #thedistrict #dctourism #nationscapital #uscapitol #dcmuseums #nationalgalleryofart #nationalgallery #sculpturegarden #metaltree #amor #gypsysoul #brilliantlybohemian #bossgirlbloggers #daytrippin #chillspot #wanderers (at National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden)

‪The Metro system might be a good way to make your way through DC. During hot weather, my pro tip while waiting on the train platforms is to “chillax” near the AC vents on the brown towers, and under the escalators.‬ ‪Roll with Wheel The People Tours: (202)689-5511 #DCTourism ‬ (at Federal Triangle station) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0M076zgRsk/?igshid=1uhsc177erjrj
