All you really need to know about DC- msueums, museums, museums! Seriously, you don't need to waste money on a guidebook- just post questions about food/lodging here, and invest in a good map. (oh, and don't go during the summer: early spring-late May is the best)
Have fun!

EugeneNY, try the Washington Post site -- www.washpost.com. It's got just about all the info you could possibly want, for free. I agree with Paul, though, that having a guidebook AFTER the trip can be such a special reminder of a happy time! Cheers!

When I'm trying to decide what I want to see in a given locale, I buy the DK Eyewitness Guide. Those glossy colored pictures really get me excited about my destination. (I rely on this board for things like hotel and transportation recommendations, however.)
