I’ve been to DC during the Christmas season and I’ve got to say…It was beautiful! I saw the huge Christmas tree in front of the White House! I did the DC the Lights Tour and it was amazing! I recommend it to anyone! Not only is there a lot of history in DC but they really know how to put on a lights show!
The Mt. Vernon by Candlelight activity seems really interesting. I bet Mount Vernon is really beautiful at Christmastime.
