August 2017 Washington, DC

Actually, I should say that I really stayed in Arlington on this trip.  While I went to the Washington, DC area on business, I really did not have time for any sightseeing on the week-long trip, other than far away views from my hotel. Of course, there certainly is a lot to see and do in the area and I will definitely make plans to see and do more when I return for business in a few months.  For this trip, I stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Pentagon City, which commands a great view of the Pentagon and the major monuments/memorials across the river.  The hotel is also a good location as being very close to The Fashion Centre Mall with one of my favorite fast casual restaurants, The Shake Shack. There are great number of high end eateries in the area but sometimes one just wants a great burger.
