We are staying in this hotel next week.
I am trying to find restaurants that will work for kids and adults. Any suggestions?

Most nights, we were content to eat at the hotel. That's because the menu was decent, the prices very good and the kids wanted to hurry and get back to the Air & Space museum.

That wasn't your question, but I am simply drawing a blank as to where else we ate. Sorry about that. We have done a lot of traveling since then, so what we ate where is all a blur.

Off the food subject, but I highly recommend the Holocaust Museum. It's not far from the hotel. It is very compelling and memorable, set up in a chronological order. Graphic film footage is displayed so that children will not see it unless a parent wants them to. (These TV screens are set up behind low "walls". Adults (or older children) can easily look down at them if they intentionally choose, but otherwise the screens are out of sight.)

The day we wanted to go up the Washington Monument, we walked there first in the morning. They assign the tickets based on certain times. (Or at least that's how they did it when we were there.) We reserved ours for the afternoon. That way, we planned our day accordingly to be back there at 3 o'clock or so. Then we headed off to the Lincoln Memorial etc.
