This weekend we are planning a trip to Washington D.C. I am extremely excited since I haven’t been back to D.C. since I interned on Capitol Hill back in 2017. One of the first things I plan on doing is going back to my old stomping grounds and remembering my time on The Hill. Anyway, this trip will be a winter one so we will need to pack some extra items. It’s not too long which means less stuff but packing for winter is pretty tough since the items are bulkier. So here is what I am packing for a weekend trip to Washington D.C.:
Winter Essentials
My winter accessories are number one on the list so I will need my gloves, beanie, and scarf of course. I checked the forecast and it is below 40 degrees all weekend so I will pack two thermals.
- Thermals x2
- Underwear x2
- Bra x2
- Socks x4
- Gloves
- Beanie
- Scarf
Clothing
To be exact the weather is predicting weather in the 20’s so I will go with my trusted duck down jacket. I would prefer to bring another jacket but I don’t play with the cold. Of course, we will need some jeans and some thick sweaters.
- Duck down jacket
- Jeans/Bottoms
- Sweaters
- Pajamas
Toiletries
I was thinking about bring some light make up since I am having some winter breakouts but I don’t enjoy make up and less things to carry. I’d also prefer to bring my skin care and treat myself to a nice evening skin care treatment in the hotel.
- Eyebrow liner
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Mouthwash
- Floss
- Skin care
- Hair Iron
- Argon oil
Random Items
We will be taking a five-hour bus from New York City to Washington D.C. so I will need some entertainment whether my phone for some music and podcasts as well as my current read.
- Charges
- Headphones
- Book
- Planner
- Pencil case
- Hydro flask
- Bag/Purse
I don’t want to overpack since it is just the weekend but like I mentioned above it’s a winter trip so it’s a tab hard to not overpack. I don’t want to get cold there and not be properly equipped. If you traveling this winter let me know what you are packing for a weekend trip. If you want to follow our trip make sure you are following me on Instagram.
Looking forward to travelling again. It’s been far too long! Hoping the first trip we plan is to somewhere warm as we have had a cold winter here!
Always wanted to go there. Since Covid my travel has slowed down – however when it’s back on I’ll have a great packing list to reference.
I use argan oil too! It’s great for my skin. Think especially in winter time you always need to pack a good moisturiser. Hope you’ve a good trip!
