Top 5 Things We Learned about D.C.

1. If you plan on driving, get GPS! Don't be cheap. Just get it. You'll be so happy that you did. You'll save gas and time.
2. It's super green and pretty because of humidity. Be prepared to deal with the humidity.
   
3. Read the road signs carefully. Each sign has like 10 names on it. There's a difference between local and express, so know which one you need to take.
   
4. Too much of the Potomac River can be a bad thing unless you intended to drive along the riverside. Otherwise, you could be totally lost.
   
5. It is possible to drive into the "heart of the beast" (also known as downtown D.C.) just know that parking gets pricey.

Driving along HWY 395. Isn't it pretty?
