If you have a little time to visit DC here are some nits
0. Its hot in DC so do yourself a favor and tour at night. The monuments are amazingly open way into the night. There is a wonderful walk from Lafayette park past the treasury to the eisenhower executive office building and the back of the white house then around to the front. Then walk down the mall to the washington monument and to the world war ii memorial and the Lincoln memorial and finally on the way back hit the Vietnam memorial and the OAS, the federal reserve the commerce building and finally after two hours you are back in Lafayette park
1. There is a new world war ii memorial. Nice reflecting pool. Main mystery is the order of the states. They are in order of joining the union but across from each other. A great puzzle for the kids
