Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
Our charming, well-maintained Alexandria home is only a 10 min. drive to George Washington's famed Mt. Vernon plantation along a beautiful stretch of the Potomac River. But no need to drive if you want to see the best that DC offers as we are only 12 minutes from a Metro station that can take you to the center of the city in minutes. Washington's museums, galleries, public gardens & parks are among the best in the world, and most are free! (We even have free world class concerts!) Kids & adults alike love the hundreds of interactive activities at the Air & Space, Spy, natural history museums & the fabulous Newseum.. Other famed sights: the White House, U.S. Capitol & Congress, Supreme Court, National Galleries of Art, Library of Congress, & the Vietnam & Lincoln memorials. At the end of each hard day of touring, relax in the comfort & privacy of our family-friendly home: enjoy gorgeous garden views, cooling breezes & BBQ from our screened porch, decks, & patio.
