Vintage Travel Posters: Washington, DC



I love the retro art of vintage travel posters!
They advertise exciting travel destinations, as well as
the planes or trains that can transport us there.
Many of these works of art are truly frame-worthy.

Having spent a terrific weekend in Washington, DC this summer,
I set off on a search for posters and decided to show off what I found. 

Be inspired to visit our nation's capital for yourself!

Honoring our U.S. Presidents



"It is the duty of all nations 
to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, 
to obey His will, 
to be grateful for His benefits, 
and humbly implore His protection and favor."

—George Washington, 1789

Colonial Williamsburg

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary by vacationing in Williamsburg, Virginia. 
We history buffs enjoyed every moment in The Revolutionary City! 
I thought I'd share some photos from our trip. 
Here's where you can find out more about Colonial Williamsburg.
