 Washington was made the Capitol of the United States for a variety of reasons such as its historic background, and many monuments. Visitors might have to take two trips to get it all in! Political enthusiasts will love taking a tour of the White House Visitor’s Center, while history buffs might prefer visiting the Lincoln Memorial D.C and the Jefferson Memorial. If you’ve got a strong stomach, visit the rise of Hitler’s Germany at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Vietnam War Memorial where you will see the many horrible things that happened back in WWII. See Lindberg’s Spirit of St.Louis and the Wright Brothers’ 1903 Flyer at the National Air and Space Museum, or see the history of espionage at the International Spy Museum. Hotels can be pricy in the capitol, so check out The Quincy or Hotel George for best rates. If you’re stomach is growling, then check out the number one restaurant in the city, Bangkok Joe’s Thai Restaurant, or treat your sweetheart to a romantic dinner at Cafe 15. After satisfying your taste buds, take a stroll through Freedom Park or Theodore Roosevelt Island Park to see some lush greenery. Don’t leave this famous city without seeing a show at Ford’s Theatre where President Abraham Lincoln was shot back in 1865. Go!
