11 Supremely Instagrammable Locations Around Washington D.C.

Hallie Cunningham

I spent a week in Washington D.C. and found the best spots for Instagram posts. There are plenty more than 11, but these are some of my favorites. Our nation's capital has some of the most beautiful spots to visit and it would be a shame not to capture the beauty! Enjoy your time in D.C. and take plenty of photos!

1. Georgetown

Hallie Cunningham

The streets are lined with perfectly stacked houses, which make for the best backdrops for your Instagram feed. Georgetown has the cutest shops and a desirable college town feel.

2. The Wharf

Hallie Cunningham

The Wharf has to be the best sunset spot in all of Washington D.C. Enjoy a dinner by the water and let golden hour bless your feed!

3. The Potomac River

Hallie Cunningham

Grab a Cupcake from Baked & Wired and sit along the Potomac! Stone steps lead to the edge of the water and you can watch all of the cute little ducks floating along.

4. The Capitol Building

Hallie Cunningham

A classic tourist spot, the Capitol Building is a great spot to share with your followers. Taking a tour and seeing the inside is even better!

5. Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center

Hallie Cunningham

This complex of buildings seems like something straight from Rome. With beautiful architecture and classic buildings, your instagram will gain a classic feel.

6. The National Museum of African American History and Culture

Hallie Cunningham

This building is rich in history and culture, and you will spend the day learning so much here. The museum showcases the times throughout history and using social media, you can bring attention to this beautiful place.

7. The Jefferson Memorial

Hallie Cunningham

With the perfect overlook of the river and the Washington Monument, Jefferson will treat you right with a dreamy backdrop! This is my favorite memorial and has plenty of space to just sit and watch the water for hours on end.

8. The National Botanic Gardens

With the perfect greenery always in season, you will no doubt find the right post for you. The National Botanic Garden has all you could ask for in Instagram heaven.

9. Golden Haiku

These signs are posted everywhere around downtown. They share the sweetest stories and will lighten up your feed for sure!

10. The Cherry Blossoms

Hallie Cunningham

There are quite possibly the most beautiful trees I have ever seen. They are in current bloom season so it is the perfect time to visit Washington D.C.

11. Georgetown Continued

When you aren't passing by in a car, Georgetown is the perfect place to take a stroll. The vibrant greenery will provide your Instagram feed with the perfect earthy feel.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

11 Signs You Grew Up In Hauppauge, NY

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
