DC
Whoop! In May my son graduates from A&M and to celebrate I am taking him to DC in June. This is a trip the both of us have wanted to take for a long time so we are super excited.
I have already requested a tour of the White House, Capitol and FBI. Aside from all the monuments and museums, any other suggestions on things to do and places to eat?
VOTE Rainwater and Snyder!!

Have lunch at the White House - I read that McDonalds delivers.

Both Smithsonian museums--the 'regular' and the Air & Space Museum.
Maybe the Zoo. Used to be "big" when I was a kid, due to the pandas and the original 'Smokey Bear'. Think all three have since died.

I enjoyed the Treasury tour. The Smithsonian Air and Space is awesome as well as the museum with the Whales in it.

My wife was stationed there for 3 years and loved the Lincoln memorial and reflecting pool and the Washington monument...
I have always wanted to see the cherry blossoms along the Potomac in spring. I hear it is beautiful.

Don't know your schedule but the changing of the guard at Arlington is truly humbling.....

If your son is old enough, K street used to be fairly exciting at night.

sorry, but it's just one of my pet peeves and I just can't help myself. Actually, "In May A&M graduates your son". btw, congratulations to both, he and you.......
as far as gettin' something to eat......just for a hoot, swing by 5 guys, it's less than 2 blocks away from the white house, but don't order a burger, order their "kosher hot dog".....it'll definitely hold you till supper.....mac

If you can work in a 20 mile side trip, a visit to Mount Vernon in interesting.

Be nice now ... maybe those three large ladies have a low metabolism rate.
