A short 35-minute drive north from the fort and you'll find yourself in the ever-historical Washington DC, where you can spend a captivating morning paddling on the Potomac River, an afternoon spent roaming the halls of a Smithsonian Museum, an evening enjoying one of DC's iconic sports teams and finish off with a monumental meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant.
