Book of the Week: Romantic Days and Nights in Washington, D.C.
With Valentine’s Day tomorrow it seemed appropriate to feature this book this week. Romantic Days and Nights in Washington, D.C.: Intimate Escapes in the Capital is written by a husband and wife team, Cynthia Hacinli and William S.D. Connor. The book is organized into day and weekend trip plans. It plans everything out for romantic escapes from where to stay to what to do to where to eat. You do not have to follow the plans by the book, but rather you can just take some recommendations and make it fit your personal preferences as a couple. There are recommendations that both local couples can enjoy as well as those visiting D.C. on vacation. The itineraries vary in themes from In the Footsteps of the Presidents to rollerblading the National Zoo to visiting wineries in Virginia. Most of the itineraries keep you within D.C. and very nearby suburbs, however the last section has some places a little farther out from the District including Horsing Around Hunt Country: Middleburg and the Plains. The book is a little out of date with it having been published almost ten years ago, but for the most part you can still do the stuff in it. The one itinerary that I found entirely out of date I would suggest doing something different is the one that tells you to go see the Baltimore Orioles because at the time this was published D.C. did not have a baseball team. Now D.C. does have a team and this season they are even moving to a new stadium, so if baseball is your thing then I would check out the Nationals rather than go see the Orioles unless you want to get away from D.C.
