15 days in Washington DC Itinerary

The capital of the United States, the District of Columbia contains the lion's share of the country's most treasured monuments, memorials, and public museums.

Bring the kids along to The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring and Georgetown. Discover out-of-the-way places like Antietam National Battlefield and National Museum of African American History and Culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Washington DC: Gettysburg (Gettysburg Museum of History & Horseback Riding Tours), Roddy Road Covered Bridge (in Thurmont) and Great Falls Park (in McLean). There's lots more to do: get to know the fascinating history of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, examine the collection at The National Archives Museum, steep yourself in history at Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, and stop by Capitol Hill.
