Trip to DC?

I feel like being a nerd and planning a trip to DC to check out their cool museums. I've never been there before. Figured now is a good time to go because we can wear Robert in the museums etc.

So... Suggestions on places to stay/things to see?

I'm thinking of maybe a 3 day/2 night kind of trip.

    SPY MUSEUM!

    Eta:
    Silent drill platoon at 8th & I (the old salty Marines escort the ladies to the entrance. ;) )
  • Loading the player...
  • I'll 2nd Spy Museum. Also Air & Space Museum :) American History museum is pretty cool too.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Anniversary
  • The Native American history museum is awesome and has amazing food. The American history museum is a lot of fun. The National Archives are quick and I think everyone should see the founding documents in person once. The monuments are gorgeous and less crowded around dusk.

  • What the others said plus:
    The Holocaust Museum
    Crime and Punishment museum
    Newseum
  • I would definitely add the holocaust museum to others that have been suggested. Hopefully you are planning on going down on the mall and checking out the monuments too!

  • I personally would wait until fall when it's cooler, if you can. It's so hot and humid in DC, and I'm from central Texas, so I know what that's like all the time.

    I would 2nd all the monuments and museums, especially the Air and Space. If you have time, take a river boat cruise (Google Spirit cruises) over to Mt. Vernon. Also, go eat at Fouding Farmer'sDoes Paul have access to empty paint cans. We're looking for them for the football locker room, incredible!!

    There's so much to see and do there, I'd make a priority list and itinerary.
