Check out Theodore Roosevelt Island on the Potomac River. Nice little place to get away from the crowds and enjoy some nature. It feels like you're not even in D.C. anymore.
When you're in the Metro stations, stand to your right on the escalators, since the locals will be rushing past you. D.C. is fast pace.
All my vacations are destination types from sightseeing in Boston to backpacking in New Zealand. Thankfully, I have a job that's pretty lenient with vacation time. I usually plan my vacations at least 2 months out and pretty much tripadvisor every destination. My goal is to experience the touristy stuff as well as the local culture. All my vacations are highly active. I feel like I need to see as much as possible because life is too short to be laying on a beach in Florida.

How do you plan your vacations? What is it you seek on your vacations? Is it relaxing, sight seeing, learning the lifestyle of the locals, etc...?

Thanks, as far as keeping within your budget, do you have an idea of what you are willing to spend on a vacation each year? Or do you just spend accordingly with where you want to go?
