So much to see is this sprawling capitol, and only a few days to see it in. Before booking for our trip I had asked vt members what DC would be like in July, and everyone agreed 'HOT'!!!!!!! And I confirm that yes indeed it was hot, and to be truthful I wish we had gone either May time or September. Rushing round a huge capitol like this and trying to see as much as you can in a few days with the heat and humidity was just too much. But as school holidays dictated, we didnt really have much choice.
However, we did enjoy what we saw and also one important factor was that we met vt soccergrrl (twice!!!!!!) and her husband.
I must also point out that just before we went to DC our camera broke :-( and so we used our son's which really wasnt very good, therefore the quality of some of the photographs isnt too great, so I have used some more recent photographs that my husband took on his recent business trip to DC. He didnt have time to visit all the places we had seen together but I will use a mixture of his trip and our trip.
My thanks again to soccergrrl and her husband who also took my husband out one evening on his recent trip.
- Pros:soccergrrl lives there :-)
- Cons:sore feet!!!!!!!!

Hello Dianne, Nice pages and thank you very much for those pages. Happy new year to all of you. Tomas Eriksson :)
Hello, Dianne, you've managed to see and to experience quite a lot, I had less time to do that...Maybe next time...Thanks a lot!
You can avoid the Metro crowds around holidays and summers-when the city empties out.
wonderful and helpful as i am going to dc in june2008 again many thanks
Reading your excellent tips reminded me that I had best get started on mine. Nice job!
Just had to review this excellent overview again which reminds me of when I lived there. Thanks for the memories Di.
Sure takes me back to DC days of the 60's. Great work here. I'll return often. Ciao, Carol
Headed to DC on business in a couple of months. Stopped by to check out your page, Dianne. Very nice write up on my country's capital city. Love the hustler squirrel. :)
Just cruising through once again to see you plopping your toes in the reflecting pool. Good job!
Thanks for visiting my OKC page. More thanks for your DC tip about the Metro Bus. We made 3 round trips this way and I figure it saved us about $300 vs taxis. BTW the fare is now $3 and the hotel said taxis would be $60. Thanks!!!
