Helping Families make Monumental Memories

Planning a trip to Washington, DC can feel like trying to fit the entire Smithsonian into a single day, exciting, but totally overwhelming

That’s where Mary’s DC Moments comes in!

I create personalized itineraries for families visiting the nation’s capital, tailored to your interests, pace, and must-see list.   Whether your crew is into monuments, museums, or icecream on the National Mall, I’ll craft a custom plan that helps you see more of what matters and skip the stress of overstuffed schedules and missed moments. Because this trip shouldn’t feel like a checklist — it should feel like a memory in the making. Let me help turn “Where do we even start?” into “Best trip ever.”

For Tweens:
DC, But Make It Instagram-Worthy

History, Selfies & Zero Eye Rolls (Well... Almost)

Let’s be honest—tweens aren’t always thrilled about “educational” vacations. But what if your Washington, DC trip felt more like a photo scavenger hunt than a history lecture?

With Mary’s DC Moments, I design itineraries that speak tween:

  • Insta-worthy photo stops at colorful murals, iconic monuments, and hidden gems

  • Just enough fun facts to keep them curious—without triggering the glazed-over stare

  • Breaks for sweet treats, funky gift shops, and quirky finds you won’t see in a guidebook

  • Optional scavenger hunts, TikTok challenges, and cool corners of the city they’ll be excited to show off to friends

Your tween will soak up history without even realizing it!

Traveling with a mix of ages?
No problem, I’ll build an itinerary that keeps everyone engaged
(yes, even the grown-ups)

Scout the Capital with Confidence

Custom Washington, DC Itineraries for Girl & Boy Scout Troops

As a longtime Girl Scout Troop Leader taking a group of Daisies to Ambassadors, I know the magic (and the logistics!) behind a meaningful, badge-worthy adventure. That’s why Mary’s DC Moments offers handcrafted itineraries made just for Scout groups visiting our nation’s capital.

Whether you’re planning a quick day trip or a multi-day mission, I’ll help you:

  • Align your visit with badge or journey goals

  • Explore must-see monuments, museums, and memorials

  • Navigate easily with chaperone-friendly maps and schedules

  • Build in time for reflection, fun, and food (yes—even ice cream stops!)

From flag ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial to science scavenger hunts at the Air & Space Museum, we create trips that are educational, efficient, and full of memory-making moments for scouts of all ages.

Let’s make this DC adventure one your troop will never forget—with less stress and a lot more smiles.
