About Washington, DC
Washington, DC, offers everything that you remember from your middle school field trip, and a lot more.
The National Mall is a 2 mile-long greenway spanned by museums and monuments, including the Lincoln Memorial and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. The Air and Space Museum and the Natural History Museum are classic favorites, while the Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Museum of African American History and Culture provide powerful windows into human history.
For those looking to get away from the main tourist spots, head west to catch a show at the majestic Kennedy Center on the Potomac, and continue on to Georgetown to walk the historic, cobblestone streets and do a little shopping. Pop into a bar during a State of the Union address to experience a town that takes politics as seriously as it does sports.
