Kismet

any of the museums or war memorials are wonderful. the link below is the tourism information site for DC and has a lot of different things to do/see.

DC is so crowded right now, that the best place is actually right outside of DC in northern Virginia--Old Town, Alexandria.

Check out the "Fun Side of the Potomac" here:

Museum of Natural History, then walk down the mall to the Air and Space Museum.

The Holocaust Muesum. Do NOT go to the White House! We went and all I can say about it is we've been there! Very disappointing. You have to stand in line (for a long time) for tickets to come back at a later time....then, of course the tour before yours is running behind...so you have to wait an extra 45 min (not to mention that you are suppose to be there 30 min before your tour starts!), you have to go through security (the ppl are very rude), then you go on the "tour" which is a path of red carpet you follow. If you lean over to look at anything the guards will yell at you, if you touch anything the guards will yell at you. I know I am going on about this but we were very hyped about seeing the White House and quite disappointed!
The Smithsonian, The Wall and Ford's Theater (don't forget the house across the street where Lincoln died) were all very good. Oh yeah, I haven't been but have heard from several ppl that the tour of the FBI building was great.

Apparently the people of the house and congress believe it is the street cornr with the hookers.

Actually the whole city is a pretty nice place to visit and much depends on your taste and the time of year. Certainly a warm spring day around the Tidal Basin (especially if you are lucky enough to have the cherry trees blooming) is a wonderful place to take a book, sit under a tree and read. Midnight on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is a wonderful place to think in quiet and take in the site of the Mall from the steps of the memorial all the way to the Capitol. Perhaps the Smithsonian buildings are a grand stop--I loved the quiet of the art museums. A walk in Rock Creek Park on a warm October day also works. Don't miss either the Capitol under the Rotunda or a visit to the Great Reading Room of the Library of Congress either.

The National Zoo. Where else are ya gunna see a panda bear baby? It's free to get in, and parking is cheap, too. Your outside, it's educational, and you get to see some animals that you can't see anywhere else in the usa.

We took a trip to DC last year and I think the most beautiful was the National Cathedral. We spent a week there and could not see everything. Take comfy walking shoes!!
