lots of stuff to see, depending on what you're into. There's all the smithsonian stuff, but if you're willing to drive out a bit, there's the Uldver-Hazy Annex of the Air and Space Museum.
Here's a couple of good listings http://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/?nid=top_gog http://dc.about.com/od/childrensactivities/tp/15BestforKids.01.htm Also try to get a Friday Washington Post. It will give a listing of events etc in the Friday supplement. There's also the C&O Canal Georgetown (if you're into preppy college stuff), McPherson Square (if you're into Occupy DC), On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 4:35 PM, Judah McAuley <[email protected]> wrote: > > Collecting the wisdom of the list once again. > > My wife, daughter and I are heading to DC.
