- winter
just cozy enough to make you feel at home with the
world. one of the high seasons is in december when
dull colors of winter are warmed by the splendor of
the christmas season. the national christmas tree is
lit and the city decorates with lights and greenery
which has become a tourist attraction in itself. snow-
when it happens-makes national news. it is an
intermittent visitor-some years there may be a couple
of traffic stopping accumulations during a season-
many years the area gets off with no more than a dusting.
during the daylight hours the weather is usually warm
enough for a light to medium jacket...the days may be
shorter yet many days its mild enough for a great round
of golf. evenings may usher in a chill to the air but
settling down around a cozy fire in a quaint georgetown
restaurant can be quite romantic and pleasurable.
.
- spring
the trees bud the flowers open and bloom and the cherry
blossoms take center stage in a rite of spring that brings
in tourists from around the world. across the potomac its
garden week in virginia where the variety of flowers and
trees endow the season with a long reign of glory. its a
prefect time to tour mount vernon arlington alexandria
and the national battlefields of manassas. temperatures
become quite pleasant-there are those days that wake-up
and surprise you with the promise of things to come..balmy
breezes and warm sunny days. looking for a game of golf-
youll find it in abundance-on both sides of the potomac.
keep the whole family happy with an outing to the national
zoological park or explore the historic and amazing
attractions of the mall. for some extra special family
fun plan a day trip to kings dominion or six flags america
.
- summer
you are on the northern edge of the sunny south yet its
the wettest season. most rain comes in thunderstorms that
creep up at the close of day so for daylight hours dress
light...a washington summer is made for the outdoors.
theres so much to see and do-if the temperature gets a
bit high for a day or two focus on touring the many indoor
museums and historic structures such as the smithsonian
the white house and the united states capitol building and
or take a cruise down the potomac. most summer days are
quite pleasant starting with a warm sunny morning-ideal
for an early game of golf-and flows into a great afternoon
for walking down the shady paths around the tidal basin
to the jefferson and roosevelt memorials. evenings
bring on a welcoming breeze...great for enjoying a live
concert at wolf trap farm- a perfect end to a great day.
.
- autumn
the warm september days flow into spectacular fall color
in early october and the foliage feast for the eyes flows
well into november. this is one of the most beautiful
times of the year in washington. golf is at its best.
in-town and out its perfect weather for touring such
places as leesburg and middleburg which host wineries
that harvest their bounty in the fall. the nearby blue
ridge mountains of maryland and virginia are decked out
in a spectacular array of color that peaks early in
october. and metro washington welcomes the great walking
weather for touring the museums and historic buildings
that line the city streets. the temperatures are great-
night frosts dont appear until mid-november to
early-december- most days are quite pleasant...a sweater
or light jacket will suffice. make washington
d.c. a favorite fall getaway- youll be glad you did.
