Weekend getaway to DC

by Gypsystravels - last update: Sep 17, 2007

Exploring our Nation's Capital

With my honey
Everyone should pay a visit to our Nation's Capital at least once and most of us have done this visit as young students on a class trip. This was the case for me on my very first visit back in the late 70's. It would be more than 20 years before I return to this city and I've seem to returned at least once a year for the past three years. It's a fantastic city to explore on foot. I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to see this city as an adult and love visiting on weekend jaunts.

The musuems are world class there is always something new to explore for all those history buffs out there.
The Capital Building in the background



The Nation's Capital is full of Monuments, Memorials, Museums, and plenty of Politicians. Exploring the multi faceted city is very easily done on foot.

Here are just a few of the major highlights for a visit to DC

White House (request through one's Member of Congress)
Capital Building
Lincoln Memorial
Washington Monument
Arlington National Cemetary
WWII Memorial
Smithsonian Institute's many museums (all free)
Botanic Garden and other public gardens
Having fun at the Air and Space Musuem

 I missed the American history museum for lack of time. Maybe I'll make it on the next visit. You make it sound interesting.

 I visited the air and space museum decades ago and was highly impressed. As I said in one of my Paris tips, my father was in the crowd that greeted Charles Lindbergh at the end of his transatlantic solo flight in the Spirit of St. Louis.
