WASHINGTON DC in One Day | Travel Guide

[@rubym.771]

My goodness, your "cherry comment" was hysterical. LOL!!! Y'all really need to come back to the DC area. You missed the big air and space museum in VA that you can visit the space shuttles, and other planes. Like the ENTIRE shuttle. The hanger is that big. Also the MLK and Roosevelt memorials are so moving. The waterfront and the DC Navy Yards have a lot of things to do. I think you parents would love to visit DC too. It's just a nice city to visit.

Loved seeing all the interesting things in DC

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We really enjoyed our time there 💛

[@Bombabingbong66]

What a wonderful Vlog, had no idea that Washinton had all these incredible museums 😮. Thank you so much.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

[@gilscot100]

What a fabulous day you two had. The Smithsonian museums are something else. Not that I have been - yet. But they are my reason to go to Washington. Plus the Library of Congress (retired librarian here). The scooters are the way to do it…. of course if the software is not malfunctioning. Leigh did not skip a beat with Nicks comment at the end…. thats professional 😂😂♥️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

😂🧡

[@ferganwalker]

Fab vlog. Full of fantastic historic info. So much to see & do in Washington DC. Brave of yous to go on those scooters. Keep having FUN.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks Mary

[@robynhicks5838]

Omg. What a day you had. Don’t think I’ve ever seen you two look so completely exhausted. Thank you for taking us sight seeing with you.

[@emepleez]

I'm so grateful for your tours..... Love Dorothy!

[@thelucasbunch1785]

Just love watching your travels, we feel like we visiting these places with you. Hopefully, one day we can visit the states again and follow more of your recommendations. Keep the great vlogs rolling 🙂 Happy Travels

[@myrnapowell1637]

Just asked my husband if he would want to go to Washington DC. Never wanted to go but you make it look so interesting. Those lime scooters though🤦🏻‍♀️. You guys have nerves of steel. Don’t know if we will ever visit where y’all go other than Disney but I really want to thank y’all for taking us on your beautiful journeys💜. You bring so much joy xo

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy the vlogs

[@Itsjustachicken1008]

When I saw the tomb of the unknown soldier it was something that will stay with me forever. Unbelievable and so glad I’ve visited it.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

[@marjielalonde3875]

You`re always so organised on your travels, which means that you experience much more, which is great! I really enjoy your travel vlogs, especially the road trips.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you, glad you enjoy them

[@zarajenkins6948]

I loved this vlog so much! I never realised Washington had so many museums, it's looks such a cool place, thank you so much for taking us with you on this trip😊

[@sassycatz4470]

The Smithsonian has 21 museums, plus the National Zoo in Woodley Park/Cleveland Park in DC. (The Zoo is dead set between the two neighborhoods. Soon to have two more pandas.) One of the museums is in New York City.

[@alexanderallan215]

When the Wizard of Oz was being filmed, there were several pairs of Ruby slippers created for Dorothy. There are still other pairs of Ruby Slippers in existence.

[@marjcameron312]

Great vlog. I’ve been once to Washington, toured a couple of the museums. So much history.

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

Those lime scooters are crazy! I love the Smithsonian museums. We would do all our class trips together DC.

[@tallactordude]

As I recall, you could spend several days just doing nothing, but going to the museums around the Mall. I definitely remember the Air and Space Museum, particularly seeing Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. I also had that cap with the Mickey Mouse ears, as well as an Etch-a-Sketch, when I was a kid. For some reason, I’ve never been to Ford theater, though I did see a play at Kennedy Center in Washington. There is certainly plenty more for you to see if you ever get back to Washington!

[@Nicckkii]

Loved this vlog. So interesting. Lots to see and very informative. Food looked beaut, and your Amereto sours I can imagine finished you off, hope you slept well. Can't wait for the next vlog. ❤❤

[@vickimccollum2537]

I got to see A Christmas Carol at the Ford theater in about 1984. About 10 years later we went to visit again and took our children. We visited the museum downstairs and the house where Lincoln died then. My seat in the theater in 84 was on the first floor, and I could see Lincoln's flag-covered theater box from my seat.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We would have loved to look in the theatre but was still nice to see it how we did

[@jeanrobinson6584]

Loved this …. Memories of all the Smithsonians….. the Mall area is lovely

[@darrengolden9518]

What a great trip so far, love watching your trips. Makes me want to follow in your footsteps. Keep doing what you do.

[@Martin_Ingham]

🤠🤠❤awesome video as always! Missing the lodge vlogs though now! I’m watching all the old ones too!!!! 😂

[@claref2302]

Another fantastic vlog guys ! So enjoyable and interesting - can’t wait for the next one

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you

[@ckrobb72]

I loved this vlog! DC has always been a favorite vacation spot for me. There is soooooooo much to do and see there. You barely scratched the surface of what you can see and do. Did you see the Changing of the Guard at Arlington? That is a MUST to see when visiting there.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

No we didn't see that. Definitely need a few days back there at some point in the future

[@anjyharris8962]

I can't believe you didn't know the Enterprise was there. I'd have told you if I'd known. Glad you saw her though. I would have been giddy too X. Loving the vlogs

[@nicolaward1034]

Washington DC looks like a fab place & would love to visit one day…. Looking forward to the next vlog! xx

[@Lisawilliams-b2c]

Another great video, safe drive guys xx

[@djay1066]

Leigh, the brand of cherries in that drink are called Luxardo. When you are in the states look for them. They are not cheap, but sooooo good

[@Elizabeth-gt4df]

You need to go when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.....stunning.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes bet it looks beautiful then

[@jamesstanley9082]

I really enjoyed this vlog.My wife prefers Washington over New York. We last visited in 2000 and I remember everything was free even the Zoo.We went in lots of museum, went in the Capitol building. We got the metro over to Arlington and we were there at least 2 hours aswell as JFK Robert Kennedy is also buried there a wooden cross marks where he is. Some of the astronauts from The Challenger space shuttle are also buried there.One of the most moving things we saw was at the Vietnam War Memorial, where people were finding the names of relatives and doing rubbings of their names. Looking forward to the next leg of the trip as we have also travelled down those Virginia roads

[@shirleydunn8050]

I don’t recall Arlington Cemetery being so close. We seemed to be on the coach for a long time. Maybe got caught up in traffic? I thought it was so beautiful and peaceful there. There was a full military funeral going on when we were there.

[@Julia-365]

Awww, thank you for taking me on the tour of my hometown (I no longer live there and now I'm homesick, in a good way...). So glad you got to experience the US nation's capital - yes, there's so much more to see in the city and one can spend days just at The Mall in the Smithsonian buildings alone! Hey, wasn't the reflection pool between Lincoln Memorial & Washington Monument used in the Forest Gump movie when he rushes in the water to hug Jenny? Maybe they didn't film it there and it was Hollywood magic, I don't know...

[@alisonl777]

Even though I knew you were both ok i still had anxiety watching you on those scooters 😂! All those museums looked fantastic and very interesting, what a smashin day out guys 💙💙 xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

lol, we love lime scooters (when they work as they should do)

[@margotwelland2459]

Great vlog guys ❤so interesting, thank you x

[@valerielawley8477]

Waiting till we get home to catch up on all your vlogs 😊

[@valerielawley8477]

Looks really great place to visit and so much to see , this is one place I would like to see 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hope your jetlag isn't too bad 🧡

[@valerielawley8477]

@@TheLodgeGuys been awful this time hopefully this morning back to normal lol

[@iainrobison5700]

Great vlog...the amount of information you give in your vlogs is fantastic so interesting 😊

[@normaduffus9755]

Great vlog! Thinking that you both must have ridden skateboards when you were younger!

[@stephencoutu2674]

Those transport scooters are a great idea for getting around the city.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Definitely!

[@stevewilson1600]

Never disappointed watching you guys, always going to interesting places. How most of us watching wish we where there with you. Looks like you had so much fun. So when do you start a company called Nick and Leigh’s North American tours. You would have any vacancies left if you did.

[@cakelady7411]

😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

❤️

[@kadiemonster]

Can I ask what days you filmed this? I was in DC in March and swore I saw you both.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Probably around the 20th

[@jessicascraps4010]

It is a little odd to hear you talk about all the movie references as you go around NY and DC - as a “local” I don’t think about the movies as much - kind of a unique perspective. Fun vlog - I hope you enjoyed seeing the sites.

[@coreyhoward7723]

Can you use the scooter on the path or do stay on the road

[@TheLodgeGuys]

roads and bike lanes only they stop working in pedestrian areas

[@davidr1431]

“You had my cherry last night”. Ahem.

[@rubym.771]

I know. I wonder how many people caught that. LOL!!!

[@joshwheeler8530]

Heyyy We watch your vlogs most days - but I've always wondered why don't you ever visit/do anything LGBT related? Not a criticism - just would love to see it...

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Not something we have thought about tbh. We appreciate all the amazing people who have come before us and continue to campaign for lgbtq rights. It's because of them that we feel safe living our lives openly and hopefully us putting vlogs out showing that two gay men just living "normal" lives we are hopefully doing our bit that way. But we don't ever feel we need to visit many lgbtq places 💙💙

[@joshwheeler8530]

@The Lodge Guys oh cool - thanks! You are absolutely right - visibility is just as important which you do perfectly. If you did do something like that I'd love to see it :) Thanks- and to clarify, defo, not a criticism :)

[@TheLodgeGuys]

If we were worried about losing subs over gay issues then we wouldn't vlog... Being a married gay couple. We put our lives out everywhere on social media as a gay couple. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to wear rainbows. We show it in every video and post we do simply by being us......although I do love a good rainbow coloured item. Love from Leigh ❤️💙💛🧡

[@joshwheeler8530]

@The Lodge Guys Firstly, sorry about this. Secondly, Vernon, they do show it and therefore raise awareness. Their fans obviously see and get that, too. Awareness is already there with them - my Q was about going/doing LGBT things, which they answered clearly about 'being' rather than 'showing', which makes sense :)

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Don't worry josh. Nothing to be sorry about. Conversation on these topics is always a good thing. Maybe we should visit more lgbtq places. It's certainly something for us to think about and come from you starting this conversation. 🧡💛💙

[@louisagalaska5713]

Let us know if you see Biden wandering the streets- He does forget where he’s at sometimes!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Lol. We didn't spot him
