Join us for a cozy, real‑life travel diary as we take you along on our long weekend getaway to Washington D.C. From airport adventures at ORD, standby surprises, and in‑flight snacks… to museums, movies, waterfront walks, and family time, this episode captures the joy of traveling together.

Over four days, we explore the International Spy Museum, stroll past the Washington Monument, enjoy the Georgetown Waterfront, sip cold brew, enjoy dinners with friends, and watch The Bourne Supremacy, Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, and Moana in 3D. You’ll also hear behind‑the‑scenes stories from Daniel’s SOSA job at United Airlines and our classic standby shuffle flying home from DCA. Daniel ends each night with his daily rosary.

This episode of the Georgia and Daniel Podcast is warm, personal, and full of everyday joy — a cozy travel diary from two people who love exploring the world together.

Whether you’re here for travel stories, couple adventures, or just love hanging out with us — this episode is full of laughter, delays, good food, great company, and the everyday magic of exploring together.
