Things to do
My daddies took to long getting this stuff up here so I'm taking charge! You should play ball with me... skip the wedding, it's all about me. Ball.
Did you say ball? I heard ball. Okay, fine. I invited you to the wedding so you should go to that too. Here are some interesting cultural and fun things to do in the area while you're in the area but I'm still more fun. - Minerva
Kennedy Center - Portraits of Courage Exhibit
2430 E Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20037
There are always excellent FREE events here. President George W. Bush's art display is very interesting and worth seeing while it's in town October 1 - November 15.
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
600 Independence Avenue Southwest, Washington, DC 20560, (202) 633-2214
So many great exhibits and history. Wonderful location to take your children. It's a great chance to get up close to space suits, air planes, and shuttles!
National Mall
Washington, DC, (202) 426-6841
Duh. This one's easy and so fun if the weather's good.
National Portrait Gallery
750 9th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001, (202) 633-8300
The Obamas portraits are hanging here - along with a lot of other really significant people... but really, it's about the Obamas.
George Washington's Mount Vernon
3200 Mount Vernon Highway, Mount Vernon, VA 22121, (703) 780-2000
George Washington's Home. Really interesting historical tour and great place to go in the fall. Enter the promo code FALL2019 at checkout or mention it at the gate to save some George Washingtons.
For all the days along the way
