In early April I'm going on a school trip for a seven days to Washington DC to be learn the United States government. I will have one day free to go where ever I want in the area. I was wondering if there was any good place to go and see in the area.
Link to my program. http://www.closeup.org/
On my list that they gave me of suggested places that aren’t on the normal tour
Smithsonian Museums (Could spend a week there)
Library of Congress (Might be cool to see all the books)
Supreme Court (What is there to see? Only interesting if they are in session?)
Arlington National Cemetery (Wasn't too excited about but I guess I'll end up there because it is impressive seeing all the lined up white tombstones.)
Mt. Vernon (I’m sure it is pretty and all but is it worth my time?)
The Holocaust Museum (We have an appointment so I guess it is popular, is it worth it?)
The International Spy Museum (Interesting, but there seems to be other more important things to see)
National Postal Museum (Sounds boring)
National Museum of the American Indian (Sounds boring)
Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Probably, might be cool)
National Archives (Without a doubt, have to see the Constitution and other documents)
The National Zoo (I have a zoo in Nebraska)
The National Cathedral (Is it worth seeing if I’m not religious)
Washington Monument (It is kind of hard to miss, but I guess I could go to the top)
Plus any other places you know about.
