Answer 2

If you are going to be near Washington, DC, I say you should go there! There is so much to see and do. You really need more than one day. There is the National Spy Museum, the Smithsonian museums of Natural History (they have the Hope diamond here, as well as other awesome stuff), American History (they have the WTC flag in the lobby), Air and Space, and at least two art museums. The Smithsonian museums are on the National Mall, as well as wells as the following: Lincoln Memorial, Korean War memorial, Vietnam Memorial, White House, Washington Monument, Capitol Building, WWI memorial, WWII memorial. Across the street is the Holocaust Museum. Nearby is the Jefferson Memorial, Potomic river, Arlington National Cemetary (where you can see the tomb of the unknown soldier, and the changing of the guard), the Supreme Court. Also, there are a couple of great shopping malls not too far away, as well as some of the greatest restraunts around! If have been there four times in the last five years, and I still find new things to see and do. It is a place I never get tired of!
