1. The Anacostia Watershed Society’s Discovery Series is underway offering opportunities to explore the Anacostia River on boat and canoe tours on select dates through September. Tours take place on the water at Kingman Island, Diamond Teague Park, Bladensburg Watefront Park, and Kenilworth Park. The next two are both at Kingman Island (pictured above) on June 5, 6-8pm, and June 7, 10am – 12pm. Admission is free, but be sure to register!
2. World-class golf is coming to the DC area this weekend as LIV Golf swings into Robert Trent Jones Golf Club inGainesville, VA. And this is not just a golf tournament; it’s a high-energy celebration of sport, culture, and community with a bold, team-driven format that makes for a unique fan experience filled with team pride and moments that bring spectators together. Thee are also immersive fan zones, live music, and interactive activations that transform the traditional golf event into a next-gen festival. Even more kids 12 and under get in free! The event runs Friday – Sunday, June 6-8, and adult admission stats at $46.
3. Eater DC has a round-up of 15 worthy wineries a short drive from DC, several of them family-friendly. And a few more recommendations from me can be found here and here.
4. Now that I’ve posted about all three places we visited in Europe last summer, I’m sharing packing lists for each of them, starting with Barcelona. Even if you’re not planning a trip there, you might still find some ideas for what to bring on your summer vacation to other destinations. (Or maybe, like me, you just like to check out what-to-wear lists.🙂)
5. Lol…totally relatable if you have (or had) a graduate.
