🇺🇸 Washington DC Solo Trip Diary

📅 Day 1: Monuments & History Afternoon: • Vietnam Veterans Memorial → Lincoln Memorial (used GPT-4 as my AI tour guide—just snap pics for instant history lessons!). • Korean War Memorial → WWII Memorial (evening glow = magical). Night: ✍️ CBS midterm grind (because #StudentLife). 📅 Day 2: Power & Culture ☀️ Morning: • 9:30AM: Snagged last-minute Washington Monument tickets (off-season perk!). • 10AM: Library of Congress—gawked at the Main Reading Room’s grandeur (Renaissance meets Harry Potter). • 11:30AM: U.S. Capitol tour + scored a Senate pass (missed the House—oops!). Pro tip: Check floor debates schedule! • Lunch: Capitol Cafeteria’s diabetes-inducing cake 🍰 (RIP tastebuds). 🌆 Afternoon: • Speedran African American History Museum (bookmarking for next time!). • White House flyby (just pics—no POTUS sightings). 🍽️ Dinner: • Founding Farmers (meh Chicken Pot Pie—presidential taste buds baffle me). 🌙 Night: ✍️ More CBS midterm pain. 📅 Day 3: Art & Charm 😴 Slept in (RIP Air & Space Museum dreams). 🖼️ Noon: • National Gallery of Art (West Wing): Da Vinci → Monet → Van Gogh speed tour. 🏘️ Afternoon: • Georgetown: Cobblestone streets + colonial charm. • GU reunion + perfect bagels 🥯 + saffron-packed paella 🥘. 🌃 Night: ✍️ Final CBS midterm push (almost free!). #WashingtonDC #SoloTravel #StudyAbroad #DCescape
