Hey, great trip! I've been to DC many times, but my man-friend who just turned 50 has never been. I wanted to take him on a quick weekend getaway, but couldn't figure out what to cram into 2 days. Thanks for the great ideas and photos. I hope to have as much fun as you did seeing things I never did before. Thanks again!

I guess that's the benefit of something like Yahoo Trips, fdar. I can experience Malaysia through the eyes of other travelers while you experience DC through mine....

Did you find that the trolley was invaluable for covering all the activities you listed, or could you do as well without the trolley? I see you did not include the Arlington Cemetary.........is there anything that you would suggest not including (worth the time,) or something that you would suggest to definately include........we are traveling with two teenage boys.........thanks so much!
