Adventures for Out-of-Towners

It is well known that DC offers a multitude of options for eager sightseers.  As DC Metro residents for the last 5 1/2 years, we have taken advantage of our proximity to DC to visit many of the popular sights, and we have prided ourselves on the many less popular, but thoroughly interesting sights we have discovered outside DC.

Below are many of the sights that the Crazies's, Uncle T. and girlfriend K. enjoyed while recently visiting our neck of the woods.

• The Smithsonian - Natural History, American History, National Gallery, American Indian, Air and Space
• Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, etc.
• US Holocaust Memorial Museum
• Arlington Cemetery and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
• Washington National Cathedral
• The Kennedy Center (free concerts every evening!)
• US Capitol - special tour by Senator Moran's staff
• Gettysburg National Military Park and the Cyclorama

(For special D.C. tour opportunities, contact one of your state's members of Congress.  The earlier the better to get White House and other hard-to-get tours.)

Feeling inspired?  Come visit us!  The Crazies love visitors and their parents enjoy hosting.
