Welcome!

Whether you live in Washington, D.C. or just plan to visit the area, chances are you are curious about what lies beyond our great nation's capital. "Getting Out of D.C." saves you from hours of planning by outlining fun and unique experiences for you and your family.

"Getting Out of D.C." is not a review blog, but rather a recommendation blog.  If we do not enjoy visiting a location, we simply do not blog about it.  Our posts only include places we highly endorse.

By popular demand, an In-Town Adventures tab has also been added to the blog to provide creative ideas for exploring Washington, D.C.
