Ttt, still relevant!

you're very correct, travelphile! I'm not sure if the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum (near Dulles airport) was built when this thread was started, but at the recommendation of a fellow Fodorite, my family and I went and loved it! It's much less crowded than the Air and Space Museum on the Mall, and my nephew was in heaven walking around the SR-71.

My top 10
1. Udvar Hazy A&S (could have made this all 10 choices)
2.Portrait Gallery
3. All the Monuments
4. Arlington Cemetery
5. A&S Museum
6. Newseum
7. Capitol Tour
8. Outside of White House (havent done tour)
9. American History Museum
10. Old Post Office Tour

Too hard to choose and opinionated... Still very relevant and a worthwhile thread.

4. "Awakening" sculpture at Haines Point (definitely during the day) - This was moved from Haines Point. It was relocated to the National Harbor in Prince George's County, Maryland.
