Congrats, man. Washington DC is definitely the most worthwhile vacation I've ever been on. The Smithsonian is much more complex than it looks. Leave yourself a couple days for it if you really want to see everything.

Haha I find it so hard to think of DC as a vacation spot since I've grown up right outside it.....I was just in the city a few hours ago for lunch with my sister!
Check out the Air and Space Museum! _________________

OK my feet hate DC...but I love it. Walked forever, saw the coolest shit. Here's my list of must sees:
Holocaust Museum
Mount Vernon
Lincoln Memorial (at night)
Jefferson Memorial (at night)
FDR Memorial
Arlington Cemetery (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during changing of the guard, Iwo Jima Memorial, JFK & RFK graves)
Ford's Theater
National Archives
Library of Congress (skip the capitol tour if you are short on time)
World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Korean War Memorial (all walking distance from Lincoln Memorial)
And of course the Smithsonians: Air & Space is TOO cool Sean! American History has some cool stuff like Old Glory (giant flag that inspired Star Spangled Banner), Natural History cool, Native American history cool.
I could have spent another week there. _________________

Hopefully you got a chance to see the ME-262, the captured Nazi fighter jet. That was my highlight.

I've been to DC twice in the past year for student government conferences, and its an amazing city. Theres wayy too much to do in just 4 days, I think I could spend a few weeks there and not get it all in. I love that city though _________________ -=|CT|=-Special Jimmy

I think I'm gonna go to DC sometime this summer for a weekend. Lots of museums and stuff I'd love to check out. I've been there a few times for random things but I've never gotten to explore things the way I'd like to. I'd love to go and check out all of the Smithsonians and everything. Just hope I get some nice weather - DC is amazing in the spring when everything is blossoming. _________________ is now -=|CT|=- Frothy Mixture

Go in July and tell me how the weather is.
I am looking at opening an operation in VA near DC area...I hope the summers aren't all humid and full of huge bugs and shit. I'm accustomed to normal things like scorpions and gila monsters. _________________

Damn desert dwellers, bugs are normal, not giant reptiles.

Summer here generally sucks. It's like being suffocated by a hot wet blanket. I guess it's not much better in VA / PA though so Mike should be used to it. _________________
