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

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

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

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

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.

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.
