If you are anything like me, this past weekend has left you wondering if the summer will slip through your fingers. The past two summers have eluded me, especially with last year’s wild campaign. Usually by August, I get a little teary-eyed whenever I see the Country Time Lemonade commericials and feel somehow gyped. But THIS year will be different. I’ve enlisted the ladies of 360jmg to compile a sort of “Bucket List” - which will no doubt satisfy any desire for summer fun in DC. So here goes:
- Shenandoah Valley Zip Line Tour: THE most breathtaking area in the near vacinity is only about an hour drive. Shenandoah is also a great place to go tubing, antiquing, or just to get away. AND to add a bit of intrigue by taking the Amtrak - only a few bucks makes for a great way to travel!
- Time Warp in Glen Echo: Want a totally different experience? Travel back in time when weekends were for dancing, and Glen Echo was an amusement park. This 100+ year old facility is property of the National Park Service, and offers tons of classes, activities and kitsch factor.
- Screen on the Green: The status of Mondays are elevated with the return of this annual program on the National Mall. Not quite as long this year, SOG is offering four films, starting July 20th with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- Legg Mason Tennis Classic: One of DC’s favorite sports venue, the Legg Mason Tennis Classic a week + of matches with pros, and ametuers alike. There are activities for the kids, charitable causes (such as benefits for local DC school tennis programs) and great food-on-a-stick. If you are resourceful, you probably know someone who has access to a suite, which puts you right out on court, with air conditioned refuge and tasty food and drink. Did I mention James Blake and Andy Roddick?
- Trapeze School! Yeah, I said it! And I’ll say one more thing: Forget fear, worry about addiction.
- Sit on a Stoop: Gather your peeps, a few cold drinks, and find a nice stoop. Enjoy the people watching, DC humidity and good times.
- Restaurant Week: August is generally a ghost town come August. Several of the restaurants featured will extend another week, or even the entire month of August. Great deals on amazing restaurants - some better than others, so do your homework!
- The Hirshhorn After Dark: One of the coolest events on the mall - and you definitely won’t find any tourists. Rub elbows with the DC hipster community and gain access to one of the best art museums in town after hours. July 24.
- Find a Pool: Get a membership, mooch a friend’s pool, or break and enter. The amazing Washington Hilton is closed for repairs this year. But you can usually sneak into the nearby Hilton on Embassy Row. And for a nicer experience, check out the Omni Shoreham or the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel pools, both at a small price.
- Get Fishy: Check out the Fisherman’s Wharf. Make sure you know what you’re looking for, or just go to pick up some fried oysters. This market is often overpriced, but its the experience (which almost is like visiting a third world country) that makes it worth it. It’s a Washingtonian’s rite of passage. Also close by and worth the trip: Cantina Marina. It’s like spring break every day! And if you want a little more action, check out the paddle boats in the tidal basin, just a short walk away.
Happy Summer! Don’t waste a second of it!
