The nation's capital. Washington DC. Home of past and present presidents, sports teams, the White House, the Washington Monument, museums, and the Lincoln Memorial. One of America's top visited places, has so much to see and do. Inside the capital building, go and take a tour and visit the museum and relish America's history.
Go and visit the White House. Take pictures in front President Obama's house and share them with your friends. The White House is heavily guarded so do not try to do anything stupid but enjoy the view and talk with some guards.
Another site to see is the very famous Washington Monument. Built to commemorate our first president, George Washington, and his army. The monument stands 555 feet tall and the view can be enjoyed with a nice elevator ride up to the top.

Take a nice long walk across from the Washington Monument to go and see the Lincoln Memorial. Built in commemoration of former president Abraham Lincoln in 1922, this monument is one of the few monuments meant to honor a president. Just like the Washington Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial is also free and is open all the time for pictures.
Another great place to visit in Washington DC, is the very famous Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. While we've seen the movies, the Smithsonian is better in real life. Filled with so much life and history, the Smithsonian Museum is really a site to see. There are dinosaur exhibits and rooms of jewels and much more! Admission is free and you can find more information at:

The US Holocaust Museum is another great site to see in Washington DC. Filled with hundreds of artifacts, pictures, and videos of the Holocaust, this museum is really worth seeing. Go and explore and see what really happened at one of the most tragic events in world history. Hear from survivors as they tell their stories of what they went through. Tickets for this museum are free. They are also open everyday and welcome many people. For more information, visit: http://www.ushmm.org/information/plan-a-visit
