Fall Foliage

OF THE DISTRICT

Vibrant sunsets, crisp mornings, and beautiful fallen leaves all make fall one of the most beautiful times of the year. With trees transforming into hues of red, orange, and yellow, now is the perfect time to explore the natural side of DC. For a weekend getaway, some of the most popular destinations in the region include George Washington & Jefferson National Forests, Deep Creek Lake, and Shenandoah National Park. However, you don’t have to go far to enjoy the changing leaves.

Here’s a list of Washington DC’s finest places to catch those warm fall colors.

C&O Canal National Historic Park A 20-minute walk from downtown DC, the C&O Canal Towpath is perfect for a walk, a jog, or bike-ride. Stretching 184.5 miles to Cumberland, Maryland, this park has beautiful views and a picturesque background to capture those warm autumn colors.

Rock Creek Park Known as the longest urban park in the US, Rock Creek Park is home to a large variety of trees, bushes, and flora which makes up beautiful fall scenes for a picnic, walk, or leisurely stroll. This park doesn’t limit visitors to ground activities - you can also enjoy boating and fishing. Rock Creek Park also creates ideal habitats for wildlife like deer, fox, and squirrels, making for some unique photo ops.

National Arboretum A few miles east from Union Market in Northeast, this living museum displays 446 acres of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants and perfect for enjoying beautiful fall colors. Tour the garden by foot, car, bike-ride, or even take the the 35-minute tram ride and hear about the arboretum’s history.

Mount Vernon Estate Located along the shores of the Potomac River, this 500-acre estate of George Washington is especially beautiful during the fall season. Take a tour of the estate and be sure to spend time outdoors exploring the endless source of breathtakingly beautiful scenic views.

Great Falls Park Take the quick 25-minute drive from Washington DC to see the most amazing fall foliage in the DC area. Great Falls Park is a perfect place to see vibrant colors from 50-foot cliffs overlooking the Potomac River. Great Falls park offers trails for hiking, jogging, and biking. .

A Word With...

Jill Schwartz What is the one thing that your clients should know about you?

I take a personal and professional interest in the success of every transaction, and I’m known for conscientious practices, assertive negotiation skills and a passion for assisting every buyer or seller. I also received the 2016 Realtor Award from Washingtonian Magazine.

For many years I’ve consistently been the leading luxury agent in Potomac, Bethesda and the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.

With an exceptional start-to-finish marketing approach for buyers and sellers, I continue to meet and exceed my client’s expectations.

Extensive referrals from past clients continue to guarantee my spot as a leader in the local real estate market.

I believe that luxury real estate experiences should exceed expectations. I keep company with a large international network of real estate brokers, sellers with exquisite properties and buyers with discerning tastes. I offer a wealth of in-depth knowledge about the local real estate market, and an understanding of the demands of an elite clientele.

WINTERIZING y OuR

hOME

In between sipping cider and wearing cozy sweaters, don’t forget your home needs some special treatment too this season.

With winter right around the corner, make sure your home is ready and safe for your family. Here is our checklist for winterizing your home this year.

ChECK BATTERIES

COvER CRACKS & LEAKS

REvERSE CEILIng FAnS

This is a simple yet often overlooked step. Checking the batteries in your various alarms and safety devices will make sure everyone stays safe this winter, no matter what accidents or storms occur. This include smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and other home protection devices.

Winter is a common time of the year for indoor smoke and fires to occur, and poorly ventilated space heaters can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Make sure flashlights are ready to go in case of power outages. In addition, stocking up on extra batteries is always a good idea!

To make sure you heat your home efficiently, seal any cracks that can possible let cold air in. Cracks usually around windows and exterior walls, so check these spots carefully. Add weather stripping or caulking to remove unwanted air leaks and drafts, and most importantly, to keep those heating bills low!

To best circulate heat around your home, reverse your ceiling fans from their summer direction. This is a great way to give your family extra warmth without adding to the heating bill.

Looking from below, the fan should be circulating clockwise.

CLEAn OuT guTTERS

Be sure to clean your gutters before winter hits to prevent costly repairs and damage on your home. Removing leaves, pine needles, and other debris will prevent clogged gutters, which can lead to water and ice problems during the winter. Cleaner rain gutters will help with melting ice and excess rain to flow properly, preventing flooding and other home damages.

TRIM BRAnChES

Ensure your yard stays strong and healthy until the spring by trimming your branches. Winter storms can weigh down trees with ice and snow, and wind only adds to your problems.

Remove anything especially close to the sides of your home and roof that could potentially cause damage. Bonus tip: prep your yard by also covering outdoor furniture and shutting off water valves.

CLEAn ChIMnEyS

One the best parts of cold weather is curling up by the fire. Cleaning your chimney is crucial for maintaining a safe fireplace, as highly flammable creosote can build up. Schedule a professional chimney cleaning early in the season to make sure you are ready before extralow temps hit. Be sure to also check the exterior of your chimney for loose materials or debris.

Add InSuLATIOn

Keep the heat in and the cold out by adding insulation to your home. This will cut your energy bill while also giving you extra warmth. Some of our favorite quick fixes include adding a chic thick curtain or fuzzy floor rugs to trap heat in your home.

2016

DC COCKTAIL WEEK Get ready for this year’s DC Cocktail Week! With more than 50 restaurants and bars participating, you’ll be getting quite the taste of our local happy hour here in the District. Restaurants will offer specially priced cocktail and food pairings for a single price. DC Cocktail Week is sponsored by the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMV) and will run from November 14 – November 20. It’s definitely a great opportunity to check out different restaurants and bars without going for a full course meal. Participating restaurants range from Dupont Circle’s Hanks Oyster Bar to Jose Andres’ Jaleo in Bethesda.

Tips for Getting the Most out of DC Cocktail Week: Make ReseRvations Make sure you have seats at your favorite restaurant or bar and book ahead! Use websites such as opentable. com to make booking easy. Spare yourself the frustration of the walk-in line, especially if you plan on a party of more than two. Take note that some restaurants do not take reservations, so double check!

Read and Review Check out websites like Yelp and Foursquare to read restaurant menus and reviews so you know what to expect, what ambiance you’ll be getting, and the dishes they’re serving. Keep in mind that some of these restaurants will specialize on cocktails only and others will pair cocktails and food, so plan accordingly!

tRy soMething new Creative cocktails in DC can get pricey, so this week of discounted drinks is the perfect time for you to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. You’ll also get a little taste of the unique and ever-changing cocktail scene in DC.

Plan youR own PaiRings Find a bar with fantastic cocktails but no pre-designated food pairings? Don’t forget a few guidelines when picking out your own accompanying food. Colorless alcohols pair well with seafood: gin with shellfish and vodka with fish. Darker spirits compliment meat: rum with pork and whiskey with steak. As for tequila? Tacos of course!

Get cReative with FloRals The best Thanksgiving centerpieces are more than just a standard vase of flowers. Save dried flowers from your last bouquet and add dried leaves and branches to make a trendy bundle at your table. Sick of vases? Try vintage wooden spools, which are the latest centerpiece trend for 2016.

FaRm to table While we typically decorate with warm tones in the fall, don’t be afraid to try a white and blue gingham table runner to add a touch of Americana and country charm! Add some pinecones and small pumpkins to your tablespace to tie in the familiar fall palette.

cRaFty caRvinG While the kids carve jack-o-lanterns, carve your own for a stunning centerpiece vase! Remove the center of the pumpkin to create a vase for your seasonal autumn flowers. Don’t forget to add a few twigs to mix textures!

wooden cRates Worried about making your centerpiece too big or too small?

Use a pallet box to keep everything in order. Fill in your box by mixing and matching different gourds and use mason jars with candles in them to keep it festive!

metallics and white Keep it classy and ring in the cooler air by using metallics and white in your centerpiece. Use silver candle holders and frosted cones to compliment chilly nights against a dark stained wood table runner for a warmer feel.

a Quick Fix Short on time but still want to add fall charm to the table? Try a simple tablescape with candles, pinecones, and leaves. Throw in some floral stems and oranges to bring out warmer hues.
