Anybody from the DC area? I'm going to be up there next month for about a week and I was just wondering if anybody was from that area.

Yes I am. My conference doesn't start until Wednessday, it lasts until Sunday, but I am going up the Saturday before. I figure with 3 whole days and 2 partial days, I should be able to see most everything I want to

Any suggestions as to what all is a MUST see?

You MUST see the ducks! OMG there are sooo many ducks! *ahem*

Also, visit the Lincoln Memorial....that's a MUST see, and the good thing is that it's right next to the washington memorial! :-D

LOL, I'll be sure to see them all

The hotel I'm staying at is right in downtown. It's just a couple of blocks from the White House. I'm pretty excited. This will be fun. I'll get to see a bunch of my friends that I haven't seen in awhile.

I'll let y'all know how it goes when I get back

Well, that depends. What do you want me to feed them?

Warm & Fuzzy · 02-22-2002, 02:58 AM

FOOD! A crumb would do, though.

BTW, TJ, why can't I post images anymore? I've tried it three times today, and all three times i had to say "NEVERMIND..., etc."

Let's see...I've been down to DC several times...
I remember really liking the FDR memorial- it was different than the rest. I'd recommend walking from the Lincoln Memorial (which is close to the Vietnam and women's memorials, I believe) along the tidal basin to the Jefferson memorial. It's a long walk, but you see a whole slew of memorials. Umm...if you go to the Holocuast Museum (don't remember its exact name..) try to see Daniel's story ~ they did a good job with that, IMHO. Try to check out some of the Smithsonian Museums-- Air and Space is pretty popular. Try to see an IMAX- they're awesome! One of them, American History maybe, had a Pop-culture exhibit that I loved...umm....if you want to get out of the city, try Mt Vernon-- it's not too far out of the city...if you go there, try to get down by the waterfront, there are some cool things down there ~ people in full costume churning butter, etc. If you have time, try to see Arlington Cemetary. It's very sad, but also very touching. The headstones seem to go on forever.....

The changing of the guards is something to see though.
I'm trying to think of what I did while I was down there on a class trip. We did about a week's worth of sightseeing in 3 days! AHH!! We saw a shooting demonstration at the J Edgar Hoover FBI building, but I don't know if you can get into that unless you're in a tour groups... There was a neat sculpture garden to walk through...not exactly sure where it was...across from the national Archives, I believe....

OK, well I'll try to think of some other places if you want... but I'll leave you with that for now
