More Father’s Day Fun in Washington, DC

O pai gosta de história ou de ciência? Se for, não perca o Museu Nacional do Ar e do Espaço Smithsonian. O pai vai ficar entusiasmado por poder ver os primeiros modelos de aviões e fatos espaciais e ver os artefactos que levaram os seres humanos a novas alturas - e fora deste mundo. Além disso, quem não acha que os vaivéns espaciais são fantásticos? Vai ser divertido para toda a família.

Não deixe passar o Dia do Pai sem levar o pai a um jogo de basebol! A aquisição de bilhetes para um jogo no Nationals Park, em Washington, DC, será o ponto alto da viagem do pai - este ano, os Marlins jogam às 13h35 no Dia do Pai! - e é um ótimo divertimento para toda a família. Mesmo as pessoas que não gostam de beisebol vão se divertir ao sol e comer um pretzel grande ou um cachorro-quente, e depois beber uma cerveja gelada antes da sétima entrada. (Dica profissional: nada grita "Dia do Pai" como um jogo de basebol!)

O Navy Yard é um dos bairros mais legais e animados de Washington, DC e é fácil perceber porquê: Todos os bares e restaurantes à beira do rio fazem dele um ótimo lugar para passar o tempo a qualquer hora do dia. O pai vai certamente abrir o apetite depois de um grande dia na cidade, por isso não deixe de comer qualquer coisa e beber uma cerveja (ou duas!) junto à água para terminar a sua noite.

Uma excelente forma de expandir as suas visitas turísticas com o pai é fazer uma viagem no Potomac Water Taxi. O táxi opera em várias rotas ao longo do rio Potomac, ligando destinos importantes como Georgetown, Alexandria, National Harbor, The Wharf e outras áreas à beira-mar. Os passageiros a bordo do Táxi Aquático Potomac podem desfrutar de vistas deslumbrantes da linha do horizonte de Washington, DC, dos marcos históricos e da beleza natural ao longo do Rio Potomac. O táxi aquático proporciona uma forma conveniente e eficiente de viajar entre diferentes destinos à beira-mar na área de D.C., evitando congestionamentos de trânsito e problemas de estacionamento.
