<p>Two other things…
Go see the World War II Memorial if you can…one of the best things about it is that the times that we’ve gone (we live locally), there are usually a few WWII vets there and gladly speak to you about their experiences. There are fewer and fewer of these vets left, so that living history that they share is a treasure.</p>
<p>The other thing - if you’re there at the end of March, there is the DC Kite Festival on the grounds of the Washington Monument. If the weather is good (a big “if” at the end of March - it could be beautiful or awful) it’s a fun event…seeing all the colorful kites flying around the monument is a spectacular sight.
