Going to Washington, DC

My wife is being sent on a conference to Washington, DC so my oldest daughter (almost 6) and I are going to tag along. Free room and free flight for the wife..why not? I know there are a ton of free museums and stuff along where the Washington monument is...what sites would you recommend that my daughter would find interesting? Thanks. BTW, we leave Sat morning and return Wednesday. When we land, we're gonna go see the tomb of the unknown soldier as I am in the ceremonial unit of our department and want to see the guys march.

 

Enjoy the trip. Take some pics and post them up when you get back.

 

For sure...I don't have an expensive camera like some of you chaps, but I'll do my best.icture:

 

Arlington Cemetery is VERY moving. Maybe you can catch the Marine Corps silent drill team. Other thoughts (in no particular order):
Lincoln Memorial
Viet Nam Memorial
Concert at Wolftrap
Drive to Baltimore (mmm, crab cakes)
Smithsonian (great exhibit at its Dulles Airport annex)
Washington Zoo
Get a weekend Metro pass and you can ride all over the place. Have fun!

 

What's the Metro pass? A bus pass? Are the routes clearly laid out somewhere? Maybe it was the Arlington cemetary I was thinking of...is there also a tomb of the unknown soldier where they march as well?

 

Richy let me know when you are coming down, I can meet you for lunch and help you out some of the sites you should see.

 

PM sent

 

Just a short 2.5 hour ride south down I-95 and you can be at my house and she can play with my kids while we do some detailing!

 

Oh boy is that tempting...know any good proctologists that could get my wife's foot out of my ass if I tried that one??:

 

Sounds like a nice 2.5 hour ride north on I-95 and we all can have some fun-lol.

 

Damned temtresses!!

 

Richy put the pressure on JL and make him come up this way.oke:

 

JL..seriously, Dana and I are gonna hook up for lunch either Monday or Tuesday...three's never a crowd for detailers!!!

 

That would be too much for the Nation's capitol to have the three of us together!!

 

Plus you guys can show me how to use a buffer.

 

You haven't seen some of the people up here, they will never notice us-lol.

 

Oh I would love to but there's just no way I could get off of work as we are doing budgets for next year right now.

 

Oh, PLEASE, FOR crying out loud, you're the guy that talked me into getting the Dynabrade. For a guy who claims he doesn't know how to use a buffer, you sure have a good one. That's like a eunuch being married to a porn star!!! Don't buy it for a minute!!!

 

Im about 20 minutes from DC, and the one with the Dynabrade. Dana still uses his old beat up DeWalt, time for a new one buddy.

 

I have been bluffing my skills on this site since I have been here.:thumb:
