So if you are looking for a fun, easy, one day trip. I suggest taking the metro to King’s Street to Virginia’s “old town.” There is a waterfront and lots of little shops and restaurants to window shop at or grab a delicious bit to eat.
I went there and we went to this really good oyster restaurant, which had, of course good oysters, but other kinds of good fish as well. They also had this cool promotion that many of the restaurants in DC have going on. All you have to do is agree to have a portion of your bill go to a local charity and you get a cookbook with a recipe from every participating restaurant. The recipes look so good and if I can make the food half as good as the oyster bar made it, I will be happy.
We also walked down to the waterfront and got homemade ice cream, which was amazing. The waterfront was beautiful too. You could see the skyline and there were street performers who created much entertainment.
The waterfront is about a 20-block walk from the metro, which is not bad when talking your leisurely time to walk down, enjoying all the shops, but if you want a quick way back, you are in luck. There is a free trolley that goes every fifteen minutes from the waterfront up to the metro.
It is a nice way to spend a leisurely, easy day. So if you looking to sightsee, I suggest King’s St.
