Wife also suggested Newseum, I decided we'd pass on that.
I didn't realize there's so much to see in D.C. I mean, I knew there was alot but not this much!
We got the week long Metro passes and never once touched our car in the parking garage at the hotel the entire week. Although it was really close to being too tall for the garage, just a Ford Expedition EL, so many of the parking garages are built for smaller vehicles. ;)
We also did Jefferson’s home on way to DC and Washington’s on way back home.
Our kids were 11 and 14 at the time. They loved it. Took my nephew, let’s just say his attention span was less than enthusiastic.
Oh and we did the National Zoo and walked to the National Cathedral from there. Wouldn’t recommend that in July, a very HOT and long walk. Didn’t look that far on the map according to my husband. haha
