If your staying down town, here is a start..

Go to the Capital building and walk the Mall counter clockwise. You'll run into 3/4 of the museums. Stop when you run out of time. Remember where to start the next time your in town..

On our first trip we managed to go from the Capital to the Lincoln-Vietnam-Korean memorials in three days. A lot of walking...

A tour of the Capital building can be a day trip. Check with your Congressman or Senator to see if you can stop by their office.. Security dictates long lines.

Off the Mall
The National Zoo - North side of town
The Air Museum - Dulles AP
Arlington - just West of the Mall
Mt Vernon - 20 minutes South
Jefferson Memorial - Just South of
Spy Museum - 6-7 blocks North of the Mall

Google map is your friend,, "Museums in DC"

My $00.0002

Have Fun
