YOUR GUIDE TO WASHINGTON DC VACATIONS


Washington DC Vacations

Washington DC vacations never get old. There is so much to see and do, when you think DC, you think monuments and museums.

That is just a portion of it….

Tourism is the number one industry in Washington DC – it shows, from the hotels and cabs to the street vendors and metrorail system. Everyone (most) seem to understand the value of “you” the guest/customer – vacationer.

If you do not know where to go for your family vacation – choose DC. Washington DC vacations can vary greatly. Unlike a lot of places where you can just show up and start “vacationing”, approach DC with a game plan.

The National Mall is a large, open park area in the center of the city. If you stood in the middle of it, on opposite extremes you willl see the Capitol and the Washington Monument.

Also located on the mall are the Lincoln Memorial, the National World War II Memorial at the east end of the Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The National Archives houses thousands of documents important to American history including the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Located directly south of the mall, the Tidal Basin features rows of Japanese cherry blossom trees that were presented as gifts from the nation of Japan. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and the District of Columbia War Memorial are located around the Tidal Basin.
