The weather is slowly warming up and we are itching to get out! Here is a short list of some of the fun options available for DC/MD/VA locals…
Saturday’s 10-11am The Feminine Side of the Tavern Tour – Alexandria, VA Gadsby tavern. During Women’s History Month, discover the many roles women played in tavern life. This tour challenges assumptions about a woman’s role in the 18th century and how women intersected with the tavern, a place commonly assumed to be just for men.

4/3 – 4/6 Cherry Blossoms Peak Bloom Tidal Basin – Provided there’s no significant environmental hiccups, cherry blossoms are projected to be at peak bloom this week. Get out there early to (attempt) to avoid the crowds!
