On a whim I took my son to DC for the weekend, give me some ideas on where to take him. We looked at almost all the monuments last night and we’re going to do a couple of the Smithsonian’s today and Capitol Hill anywhere else? ---

Think they would get mad if my son and I walked in there with marshmallows on sticks? We did the monuments at night last night today so far we did the art museum, natural history museum, space and aero museum and the national archives. I think we may do the spy museum in the morning and then head out. ---

I was going to suggest the Holocaust museum, but he may be a little young for that. ---

Probably. My son and I have probably put 15-20 miles on in the last 30 hours. ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/10/ruse6ene.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/10/ruse6ene.jpg) so we took a little break. ---

My 7 year old daughter is there right now with my sister visiting my aunt who lives in DC. I went there quite a few times as a kid but that was 25 years ago. My aunt used to live right on Capital Hill which was neat. ---

To an Obamacare protest? I keed I keed. Lincoln memorial for sure, also the Ford’s Theatre maybe . He’d probably like the spy museum as well. Can’t go wrong with any of the Smithsonians really.
