    Thanks for another great video, Rob. My wife and I will be in DC again on January 21 for our 38th anniversary. We are in the group of short trip folks but, we are in DC often because we love it. Even after 12 visits to DC we still see something new to us almost every trip. We can definitely thank you for much of that.

    Me and my husband are leaving DC tomorrow to end our trip. I really enjoyed the African American museum , Lincoln memorial, library of congress. I already want to come back because we didn’t get to see everything. We did a lot of walking in the beginning but used the circulator bus at the end. Great trip cool city. 3 days is not enough.

    Rob, you deserve over 100k subs at minimum. I made sure to highlight your channel at the bottom of mine so people can refer to you for DC travel advice. Thanks for pushing out quality content. I plan to make my way to DC some point this year and would love to meet up.

    Visiting this year the first week in May from Iowa. I would like to thank you for your videos. The videos have made the planning much easier as I would not have known some of the hacks such as time entry admission, etc. Staying at the Hyatt at the Wharf and hoping this is a good choice. The video you shared on walking from Wharf to monuments helped me make a informed decision on where to stay. Again I thank you for all of the time you invest in making these videos!

    Another great video Rob, Happy New Year I'm still on vacation right now in Washington DC I have one more week left and then it's back to LA. Did not know that about Reagan I for sure thought it was Dulles but with all the new upgrades at Reagan and Americans hub I can see why. Looking forward to all your videos this year be safe honey

    Many places have airport-like security screening and prohibit many items including water for personal consumption. As an independent visitor (without the benefit of a tour bus to keep my stuff), I find it a big inconvenience as I have to resort to purchasing drinks from concessions or restaurants.

    After numerous short trips to visit family in DC, the facts I didn't know before this video are: 1) the least popular Smithsonian museum 2) that National Airport is busier than Dulles 3) what countries send the most foreign tourists to DC

    My husband and I want to come to DC end of October. 1. Is Oct and good month to visit? 2. How do we even begin to plan how to get around as we won’t have a car. We plan on flying in from Florida 3. We want to visit as much as we can yet don’t want to be rushed every minute of the day. Do you think 4-5 full days is a good amount of time to,spend there ( that does not include the 2 days of flying)?

    Rob, I know you've done videos on lodging but can you recommend a hotel walking distance to the mall that doesn't charge for parking?
