Looking for an extreme challenge? TOUGH MUDDER

January 30, 2012 – 3:31 am

Check out Tough Mudder this summer here in Pennsylvania this April.  This extreme obstacle course is for people of all athletic backgrounds who just want to go out and have a good time.  Its not a race, but rather a chance to face yourself against situations that you may never have though you could accomplish physically.  Register early, train hard and try out tough mudder this spring here in PA.

Ballston Barber Shop, Virginia

January 29, 2012 – 3:22 am

If you happen to be staying with us for a few nights and need a great barber shop, I suggest the Ballston Barber Shop.  Located off the Orange Line (Virginia Square/GMU Metro), this is the finest location I have been to in the DMV area.

The price is average ($16) and the service is amazing.  Included in your Gentlemen’s Haircut of choice, a hot towel treatment as well as head and neck massage.  The attendants are incredibly cheerful and always welcome you back with a smile.

901 N Pollard Street, Arlington, VA 22204 (703) 243-5542

Enjoy!

The National Postal Museum

January 28, 2012 – 1:18 am

One of our guests this week went to visit the National Postal Museum  which is part of Smithsonian Institution and he highly recommended it. The museum is located in the old Post Office building next to Union Station. The Museum was created in an agreement between the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Postal Service in 1990 and was opened to the public in 1993.

The museum is open from 10am to 5:30pm 7 days a week. The museum is closed on December 25th. Admission to the museum is free.

Take the Red Line to Union Station, and use the Massachussets Avenue exit for easy access to the museum. As you get exit the metro station, the National Postal Museum will be across the street. For additional travel information, please visit Metro’s website.

About American Guest House B&B

Bed & Breakfast?

January 27, 2012 – 3:49 am

Some friends of mine were looking to stay in a hotel while visiting DC last summer and were expecting to stay at the normal hotels that come to mind.  When I introduced them to the idea of staying at a local bed and breakfast, they immediately though, “We can’t afford anything fancy or romantic.”  I am not sure if it is a cultural stigma, but I was quick to inform them that many bed and breakfasts overseas are in-expensive and a great way to get a real feel for the city or town they are visiting.

Bed and Breakfast locations can be affordable and often provide a cultural setting with 5 star hospitality services.  Since most bed & breakfasts are not franchised or anything but a chain hotel, you know you will be getting the best service from owners who take pride in their business and customer satisfaction.

After taking my suggestion, my friends stayed in a bed and breakfast location in Ireland while visiting family this past winter and they look forward to many more B&B inn’s during their future travels.  The last thing anyone wants to feel like is a stranger while traveling.  Like many Bed & Breakfasts, you can be sure that you will feel like you are staying with family, be given helpful information in the city you are visiting and a much more personable relationship with your innkeeper and staff.

Pleasant Travels!
