History is made every day in Washington, DC. The capital of the United States portrays significance & power with its 19^th century structures and frequent motorcades sightings. The city of politicians, and their constant influx of interns, is always full of action and activities.

Enjoy being a tourist first before sinking your teeth into full fledged DC life.  Taking tours of all the monuments, museums and memorials will surely give you a greater appreciation for your new surroundings. Relatives will be anxious to visit after you have settled into the city, and knowing your way around the city will make the visit smooth and enjoyable. DC’s Metro system is very efficient and can get you around to all of the necessary sites.

Don’t forget your camera.  Although you now live in DC, there are sights and sounds that you may only be able to see and hear once in your life time.  You never know who you will run into.  You could meet the President at a local burger joint or a professional athlete in the mall.

Apartments in Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia also give you easy access to DC and great views of the city without actually living in DC.  In Maryland, Oxon Hill and Silver Spring, also have great communities in the “DC Metro” area.  So, enjoy witnessing history, and if you are savvy enough, you may get a chance to make history as well!
