Iam planning a trip in early May of this year to Washington,D.C. and I was wondering where there is a good places to shop. I was wondering where there is good places to get things that i could get to rememver my trip.Plus my second question is what kind of shopping is there in China town?

The best gift shop in DC (IMHO) is in the Building Museum. Every museum has its own gift shop, of course and the one at the Lincoln Memorial has a good selection of Lincoln mementoes. DC's Chinatown in tiny, it doesn't have the kind of shopping you'd find in NYC or on the west coast.

Anonymous, you are so right. I was just at the building museum yesterday and did a little shopping. Some of the best "stocking stuffers" for adults I have ever seen.

Other great shopping areas are Georgetown for chain stores and some interesting independents. I love Paper Source there. Connecticut ave for some cool shops and Burberry down past Dupont Circle. I have heard that U st has good shops but I haven't been.
