From the stories I hear of some of your relatives, that could be a good thing.
"She always runs and hides in the basement"
Lord have mercy! Don't take her to Nully's place!
Seriously though, some kids get overstimulated in groups of people because they have a sensual hypersensitivity that is almost palpable. I wouldn't make an issue of it, but I don't think I'd take her to DC either.
I don't know what her problem is .. some crowds are ok .. like the mall where there are toys
Other crowds are bad because of the loud noise
Some people are ok .. where others just scare the hell out of her
She HATES going to my one sister's house because she is scared of my one niece. I'm not sure why, because she never did anything to Carly but look at her. She not scary looking .. she is a beautiful girl .. but she is the only one in my family that wears braces, so I'm thinking it might be that
Bottom line .. you never know what is going to freak Carly out
Oh the fun
