How could l forget the Memorials! Lincoln, Washington Monument, Korean, Viet Nam, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King. The Roosevelt Memorial is huge!! And, of course, the World War II Memorial. In my opinion, the World War II Memorial should be seen both in the day time and again at night! It is beautiful at night! My former boss had a lot to do with the World War II Memorial and was particularly concerned about having enough handicapped parking!

I haven't done this for years so I'm not sure they still do this or not. But, used to love to go to the Washington Monument at night. The city was beautiful from the top.

The Holocaust Museum is very good but dark and depressing. Its a lot of reading. You used to have to get reserved tickets. I think I paid $8 for each ticket. You din't have to pay but that way you had reserved reservations and were assured to get in.

The Bureau of Printing and Engraving is about two doors from the Holocaust Museum. You can watch our money being printed.

Ford's Theater. Where Lincoln was shot and the house across the street where he died. Free but you need a ticket. You can still go to the theater there but you pay for it. I went to a show once and it was pretty amazing to sit there and think of the history behind the theater.

Arlington Cemetery. The Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, is in Arlington Cemetery. Its on a hill so you can take beautiful pictures of Washington, DC below you on a great day.

I retired in 2005 so I'm going from memory. This is some of the information I had for my house guests over the years.

Don't forget almost everything in DC is free to visit. Mount Vernon and the Tourmobile is about the only thing you have to pay for.
