Hey Locals! 👋🏽

If you're already thinking about what you're doing this weekend, you're not alone.

Every week I hear the same thing:

"We want to do something fun… we just don't know where to go."

So here are a few things happening right now that caught my attention this week.

3/13 Pi Day with multiple freebies at Pizza places.
3/13 Day of Play - Ketcham in Washington, DC
3/14 Ireland at the Wharf – Washington, DC
3/15 St. Patrick’s Day Parade – Baltimore
3/15 Indoor Recess - The Art of Play - Washington, DC

✈️ Quick Travel Question

Flights are getting expensive and TSA wait times keep growing…

So I’m curious —

What are you planning to do for vacation this year?

🚗 Would You Pay $10 to Enter DC?

A proposal in Washington DC could charge drivers $10 during weekday rush hours and $5 on weekends just to enter the city.

Some people think it will reduce traffic.

Others think it will hurt local businesses.

I’m curious where you land on this.

🎒 If You Know a 4th Grader — Read This - Every Kid Outdoors

I just learned something I wish I knew years ago.

Every 4th grader in the US gets a free National Parks pass for their entire family.

That means 1,000+ parks, museums, and national sites completely free.

Including places like:

• Assateague Island
• Shenandoah
• National Park sites across the country

Most people have no idea this exists.

If you have a 4th grader, this is perfect for spring break or summer trips.

This weekend Washington DC turns into a giant Comic-Con playground.

AwesomeCon is back and it’s basically three days of movies, comics, cosplay, and celebrity panels.

If you’re into Marvel, Star Wars, anime, gaming, or pop culture — this is your place.

Families love it.
Hardcore fans love it.

And if you've never been before, it's worth seeing at least once.
