District Wharf | Washington D.C.

District Wharf is one of D.C.'s latest day trip destinations, it opened just a few weeks ago on October 12. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it down there on opening day/night because it's super out of the way from school and I had a lot going on at that time (p.s. no one ever tells you that midterms will take over your life). But lucky me, today I was able to take my time seeing everything that the Wharf has to offer when it wasn't too busy. There are tons of restaurants down there that look amazing (I haven't eaten at any of them yet because I'm trying to save money and I'd much rather go with my family or a group of friends), but I'm especially looking forward to Taylor Gourmet (so many vegan options!).

Aside from its seemingly endless restaurants, it's a great spot for hanging out with the fam and killing some time.

My favorite thing to do was explore Politics and Prose Bookstore, which I could literally spend hours in.

There's also a little area that, let's be honest, was made for kids, and houses large versions of Scrabble and Battleship that you could probably definitely enjoy as an adult!

You could even take a ride on a "Water Taxi" and soak in the view while listening to Yellow Submarine by the Beatles (that's the first thing I thought of when I  saw the bright yellow boats).

 As far as a sweet tooth, there's a Ben & Jerry's near the entrance of the Wharf, which I love because it offers a refreshing treat for everyone!

Whatever you chose to do, try to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. I cannot wait to see District Wharf grow and hopefully, *fingers crossed* I'll get to spend a good amount of time down there. xx, Lauren
