I think we're planning on the Zoo and the Holocaust Museum...never thought about the Spy Museum, though. Definitely want to see the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and all the other memorials. There's SO MUCH to see and so much of it is free or low cost.
Ugh, the National Zoo is SHIT.
We have been there more than enough to be able to tell you people this!!
What you'll do:
Drive around forever looking for parking whilst dodging pedestrians that think they can cross a road at any time, regardless of oncoming traffic.
Walk forever and ever in the heat, (yes, in May, it gets hot at times, esp. with the black asphalt all over the place), and complain about the mile long lines at the crappy food stands.
Spend 54.00 on a hot dog, drink, fries, etc. (quality food, I tell ya).
Wander all over the animals pens, and continuously wonder: "where the eff are all the animals??"
Visit the souveneir shop, spend too much money on the "cute" things they have, even though the zoo experience itself, sucked.
Eventually leave. And when you get in your car, you'll have that feeling that you saw something, but then you remember, "hey, I barely saw any fcking animals, and this is the much hyped Nation ZOO?"
Have fun!
