Here we are at the grand finale of the trip! I absolutely love New York City. I've had a heart for this city since I was young and every time I visit my heart beats a little faster. I knew when we decided to do an east coast trip that it wouldn't be complete without another visit to the Big Apple. While I loved the other cities we visited, this part of the trip was my favorite! We had 3 days to explore the city so I jam packed as much in as possible.

Next stop on the East Coast adventure was the city of brotherly love! We rented a car in D.C. and drove a quick 2 1/2 hours to Philadelphia. As a history nerd, I wanted to see all the historic places in Philly. We only spent 2 days in Philly, but for us it was enough time to see everything in Old City on our list.

Our first stop on our east coast trip was Washington D.C.

This city is unique in the fact that it holds the heart beat of our country. There's so much to see and a lot of walking involved, yet it doesn't seem like it's that big of a city. We spent 4 days in D.C. just so we could see as much as possible with all the museums, building tours, shopping and historical places. Get ready to put your walking shoes on as I take you through our nation's capitol!
