Spend Thanksgiving at National Harbor!
Leave the pots and pans in the kitchen and experience a Thanksgiving meal like no other! Come to National Harbor and encounter fabulous tree-lined promenades, shopping and dining! National Harbor is about 20 minutes south of Washington DC, on the banks of the Potomac River. They have lots of things to do, including Segway rentals, an obstacle course, the “Awakening” statue that kids can climb on. It’s also the site of the famous Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center, which is always decorated for every holiday, including Thanksgiving. Visit their grand atrium while you are there. You can take a water taxi to and from National Harbor. Service connects to Alexandria, Virginia. If you are at National Harbor, you can take the riverboat over to Old Town Alexandria. OnBoard’s tours launch from National Harbor, so you can take a DC tour from the Harbor as well.
Eating at the Harbor for Thanksgiving is a fabulous idea. There are lots of restaurants to choose from. Click the logos below to view the Thanksgiving menus for each restaurant.

Mount Vernon Tours Coming Soon!
If you are taking a tour in Washington DC, you should visit Mount Vernon. OnBoard Tours has received so many requests for Mount Vernon Tours, that we have finally built one. We will be launching the tour on November 25, 2011. If you would like to make reservations before the tour is live, then just call us at 301-839-5261 and we’ll be happy to book a reservation for you. Otherwise, you can book online.
Many people don’t realize that George Washington’s Estate is kept in pristine condition. You can see the Key to the Bastille that Washington was given as a gift. You can see his bedroom (and other rooms) almost in the condition they were when George and Washington lived there. You can tour the grounds, visit the outbuildings that Washington used for cooking, housing for servants, etc. There is a great museum with videos that tell Washington’s story. There is also a gift shop that has more than just souvenirs. It also has products from the nearby community and books about George Washington, Martha Washington, American History and more. Visiting Mount Vernon is spectacular.
It is the perfect addition to your Washington DC sightseeing experience.
