We decided to take a side trip to Washington D.C after visiting relatives on the east coast. It was the off-season for tourists so cold but worth it. We spent most of our days visiting the Museums and monuments around the national mall. The cool thing was we never had to wait in any lines during the week and found parking on the mall everyday. So much to see. The kids loved it. We spent most of our days out and about. The neighborhood felt very safe and the place was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend! thanks Brent
