I've been wanting to visit these stairs since I was a child

Although I only live an hour and half away from these, I've never gotten to actually visit them on any DC trips. Not a single one of my family or friends give a shit about these steps, so I wanted to share my excitement and joy with you fine people (although I know you've probably seen them a million times, lol.)

I was absolutely ecstatic to go here and now I want to spend a whole weekend in Georgetown. I never knew just how amazing the town itself really is; shops, restaurants, water activities, parks, etc. If you ever come to visit the steps, you can absolutely make a whole weekend activity out of it. Although I will say.. it was definitely time consuming getting into Georgetown. We sat on the bridge in the last photo for maybe 15-20 minutes, but it had a great view so it didn't bother me, lol. Also, parking was a bit of a hassle at first, until I found a parking garage right on Prospect Street, where the house and stairs are.

I then went home and watched The Exorcist while drinking out of my exorcist coffee mug 😆

If you ever think about going, definitely go, it's so worth it!
