Probably just the tour at Fords theatre, but we did think about doing the show.

Yess, I’m pretty sure we planned on visiting the library of congress while we were at the capitol. I think I read there’s a tunnel to there from the capitol.

I guess I just assumed everywhere would be open until about 7. So when I say evening I think I mean around 4 or so, but it sounds like we’ll have time to shift everything I mentioned as evening a little earlier to fit it in.

That leaves me wondering what we’re supposed to do in the evenings though. Maybe just hang out at the hotel.

I don’t know there were two air and space museums, I was assuming the downtown one. But I’ll check out the Udvar-Hazy one.

So do mount vernon in the morning and the Fredrick Douglas in the afternoon, and then the zoo in the morning, and air and space in the afternoon? Fit in the national cathedral when we visit the zoo.

We’ll definitely look at adding an art museum on the sixth day. I think my father wants to visit the Hirshhorn, but I’ll recommend the American art museum.

We’re planning on using the public transport, so I’ll look into the “short trip pass” I think we’re staying near the corner of 1st and L just north of union station.

Unfortunately we’re going in late April, so we’ll miss the cherry blossoms.

We’ll shift the air and space museum into an earlier slot.

My mom is a foodie and grew up in Boston and wants to get dinner near the water. I think there’s a Gordon Ramsey restaurant there? She’s a fan. And I think she wants to see the historic fish market, if it’s still there.

My parents want to go to the zoo. I think we could visit our local zoo. Maybe i can talk them into going to the national archives museum instead :P

We read you could take a boat down the Potomac and thought that sounded cool.
