Washington D.C. | Weekend exploring the capital of the USA

[@nintendolunchbox]

Lol. No one has ever changed someone’s mind with a KZbin comment. No truer words have ever been spoken. That gave me the biggest laugh I’ve had all week.

[@summerbatterson1524]

I live in DC and was born and raised on the hill! There are sooooo many of us that don’t work in politics and just have normal lives here too☺️ the neighborhoods are just regular neighborhoods❤️ so fun seeing people visit the place I grew up!

[@jeremysmith7708]

Glad you were able to stop by and show a side of DC many don’t experience.

[@mackyronni]

Georgetown grad turned DC resident here. Glad to see you explored more than just the mall and M street! If you’re ever back I suggest checking out other neighborhoods/places like Adams Morgan, U St and Ben’s Chilli Bowl, Anacostia, and the National Arboretum. DC is very diverse like you said but we have the largest Ethiopian population and 2nd largest Salvadoran population in the US which makes for some great food! The greater DMV area offers a lot as well. Rockville MD has a lot of Chinese immigrants and food or you can check out Annandale VA which is more Korean. I am Chinese and have to say there is great Asian food all around, including Thip Khao which is Laotian and Hiraya which is Filipino

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you for all these recs!!

[@numericalcode]

Thanks for the tip about early morning! Definitely going to try it next time

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for watching, Yohan! And definitely go early. It’s a special experience seeing DC quiet early in the morning.

[@connorgray7688]

The picture with Kramer at his book store is so sweet

[@brandonleon4068]

Its like Vaticano City, whether you like or not "West" or USA Policy, the amount of history and architecture is magnanimous. GRETTIIIIINGS!!!!

[@pattibee6000]

Sounds like a "well taylored suite of brother-in-laws"

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Loved this video, so happy you showed outside the downtown. There is so many unique neighborhoods that are a must visit! We lived ‘13-‘16 just outside DC when John was stationed at Andrew’s AFB. We loved it! YES the city is very very noisy, love having all the green spaces to escape. Thank you for taking us along. I’ll be there again mid-September as our daughter now lives there. Great video! ~Cara 💖

[@thedowneasteralexa]

Hi from DC! I’m glad you enjoyed your time here and that you were able to make it out into the neighborhoods and spots like Union Market. I live in DC proper and I almost never go to the National Mall or Capitol Hill-but spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoors and Rock Creek Park.

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

So cool to see the other side of DC! Mark Alan went in 8th grade on a school trip and of course did all the touristy things and has wanted to go back for a long time, but if never seen much of the appeal. Thanks for showing the fun side of DC! 😊

[@ReimaginedAdventures]

Love washington d.c !!! We just did a bike trip from pittsburgh to d.c. thanks for sharing.

[@chrisandsara]

I’ve always wanted to do the Pittsburgh to DC ride! How was it??

[@ReimaginedAdventures]

@@chrisandsara it was such a blast so many fun people along the way. . . great sights 6 days we did it in very user friendly trail !!!!

[@brunnie]

Nice peek into DC..... Thanks. Until next time... Travel safe. (HI Kramer!!)

[@AshleyandChristian]

Okay out of this whole video my favorite part is that everyone is named Taylor 😂

[@kellyrogers9459]

So glad you went to call your mother! So much good food in DC

[@CITAP1]

Nothing like a visit to "Mos Eisley"

[@SMRBI]

It's pronounced La Co•se•sha, and the purveyors are also Latin. As a Washingtonian, I still go to the Mall for walks but in non-peak times.

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@arielusher9979]

I think it’s pronounced PanamAnian with a long “A” where I capitalized it.

[@David-jo4gt]

You are braver than we are. Please be careful. Sad times we are in right now.

[@familiamacias3994]

I didn't know there are a lot of latin people in Washington D.C. as well

[@Jessssssssica]

It was so odd seeing the capital empty behind you, almost apocolyptic! Beautiful video!

[@Geezimac]

Loved the video! Glad we got to hang out and grab coffee! Btw- loved the early morning shots from the mall.

[@sonjaarrasi]

Do you guys fly with Kramer to all of these locations? If so, how does he do/what’s your experience been with flying a large dog to multiple locations?

[@chrisandsara]

Hi there! So generally we drive when we're going somewhere in the USA. And Kramer is actually a lot smaller than he looks and easily fits under the seat in front of me on the plane. I do have a whole blogpost about traveling internationally with a dog though. Hope it helps! :) www.chrisandsara.com/post/how-to-travel-internationally-with-a-dog

[@sonjaarrasi]

Wow, I can’t believe he fits under the seat on the plane! That is definitely helpful. Thanks for the blog post suggestion! I will check it out. 😊

[@julianlarrea5965]

Ah-ray-pah. Not ah-ree-pah. 🇻🇪👍

[@savvysue3537]

Oh... the CHEESE...!!!

[@ian4040]

I visited DC in 2007 and enjoyed how dense and clean the city is. The subway was very convenient. I wouldn't live there though because there's too many protests and political bs.

[@OppositeofHATE7]

It's pretty easy to avoid protests and political bs if you want to. The vast majority of us do it everyday. Most of the time it's not happening in surrounding quiet neighborhoods. People live their lives here like any other city

[@mcwright0178]

And Jessica said she’d die if she ever made it into a video the last time I spoke to her. Go her over coming that fear.

[@dcbyui]

Chris not pupusas. Venezuela makes arepas.

[@titoleo3431]

Where's your tuk tuk?

[@chrisandsara]

We left it back home!
