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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10. The Cherry Blossoms

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May.
