💡 Frugal Voyager Smart Tips:
• Warmth Hack: The Botanic Garden’s "Season’s Greenings" display is indoors, humid, and absolutely free—a perfect cold-weather refuge.
• Georgetown Glow: Visit Georgetown after sunset for boutique lights and the famous "Georgetown Glow" art installation.
• DCA Advantage: Fly into Reagan National (DCA) if possible; it's only 15 minutes from the Mall via the Yellow Line.
