As does the rest of the Smithsonian. Check out Georgetown, too...lots of nice places to eat/drink there... Well, the obvious is all the Smithsonian and other museums (love the air and space) and the monuments. The capitol tour is pretty nice. The zoo is free (part of the Smithsonian as well) so that's worth doing. Going to a hockey game (Capitals) in town is fun. I've always wanted to do a tour of the National Cathedral but haven't made it yet. Arlington Cemetary is worth the short tour as well. Then there are endless bars and restaurants (love Legal Seafood). I am a 15 year old boy. My school just went to DC this November so I think I can give you the best answers. I really enjoyed the monuments. Lincoln, Jefferson, White House, Capitol, Washington Monument. Wait in line to go up the Washington Monument. I was dissapointed that we didn't and really wanted to. Go to the Capitol and get the full tour. It is extremely interesting and they teach you a lot of neat tricks about the building and show you where some famous mens desks were. Arlington Cemetary is amazing and it is almost un-American to go w/o viewing changing of the guards. Look in your family history and see if there is anyone in your family buried there and find their grave. Mt. Vernon was cool but it is a one time thing. It is kind of boring when the old ladies are talking to you but when you get to go on your own is when it gets fun. Don't go there w/o a schedule you won't have as much fun. Smithsonians are ok i didn't really care for air and space but i really wished natural history would have been open. Just look around and walk everywhere you will see more stuff and get to cherish it more. Have Fun! national museum of natural history library of congress georgetown adam's morgan |
