I'm coming over to DC tomorrow for a conference. I'll be in town for a week. I want to visit the following: Holocaust museum Air and Space National Zoo Natural History museum National Art gallery National Spy museum Korean War memorial Vietnam War memorial Lincoln memorial White house Capitol Arlington cemetery Goethe Institut I don't know if I will be able to hit all these, but are there any other places you recommend? Restaurants/bars? Thanks, Black Irish |
Not too familiar with DC but for fair warning I've heard DC lowered its BAC to something rediculously low like .02 or something. Not that you'll probably be driving. Stay safe and have fun! If you manage to find your way up to B-more area let us know maybe we can meet at Hooters for a dinner.

All of these are on the mall or a few streets off. You could walk to all of them. It will be a few miles walking. Holocaust museum Air and Space Vietnam War memorial Lincoln memorial White house Capitol Natural History museum National Art gallery Korean War memorial National Spy museum Arlington cemetery- Metro stop. National Zoo - Metro has a stop near. Goethe Institut ? |

Skip the Zoo. Other than the Pandas it's a waste, it has really gone down from it's hey-day in the 1970s. I was very disappointed last time I went there. The Air & Space Annex at Dulles is a hoot if you're into airplanes. It's a huge hanger will all kinds of neat stuff they couldn't fit into the main A&S building. Highlights include an SR-71, Enola Gay, Space Shuttle Enterprise, the parafoil wing version of the Gemini, a Concord, an F-35 pre-production, and they are supposed to be displaying a German Flying wing (it was not on display when I was there - but the card identifiying it was there). |
