"Save Your Legs Take a Tour"
If you have old or young people in your party, a sightseeing bus tour of DC might be a good idea. The bus toru will take around the sights of D.C. As a group you can decide where and when to get off. You can also decide to stay on the bus all day. Our family enjoyed taking the bus tour to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Ceremony. The Korean National Army was on duty that day.

Enormous sculptures provide a needed break for a young child. We took in the Sculpture Garden when my son was tired of touring the National Gallery.

Massive structure. Kids like speculating how big Abe Lincoln's shoe size would have been. My husband read the inscription on the inside of the memorial to us.

"FDR Memorial: A Man for All Seasons"
There's something fascinating about FDR. He was a statesman for many years. He didn't let polio interfere with his life. He lived in an era without intrusive media where he could cover up the fact that he needed a wheelchair to move around. He was beloved by our nation. He kept the nation going during the gloomy Great Depression.

"National Zoo: A Hit with Old and Young"
The National Zoo in Washington, D.C., is a hit with all all ages. Our kids loved it as babies, preschoolers through teens. The zoo is good value as it is free. Panda exhibit is worth the trip. If driving be prepared to pay parking. Taking the Metro is a good bet, plus kids love riding on a train.

Anyone who has watched a James Bond film or read a spy novel or watched news coverage of the capture of a spy will love the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. The museum features displays ranging from spy gadgets from ancient times...scrolls with hidden messages...to spy gadgets from the high-tech age...listening devices smaller thatn a pinhead.
