Untitled - a plea
I need YOUR help. My teenage [female] cousin and my sister (Mel - the 2nd youngest) are coming to stay with me for the weekend, starting tonight. They have been given some cash, and this is what they wanted to do for their birthdays (both in Feb, when I was in bed with hurt neck). I have off tomorrow, and they want to “see” DC. My cousin is from Richmond and my sister is from Fredericksburg, neither have ever really been to DC. My question to you is: what to tourists do in DC? I never really did the tourist thing, but I am supposed to show them a good time this weekend.
So far what I’m thinking we’ll do is:
- The cherry blossoms.
- The zoo
- A highlights tour of the Smithsonians.
- Chinese food in Chinatown
- Whitehouse tour is out - way to difficult to schedule, and our group is too small.
We are going to be Metroing it, so we’re traveling pretty light. Anything I’m missing? Anything you really enjoyed when you visited DC?
