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 Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens. Change things up with these side-trips from Washington DC: Great Falls Park (in McLean), Roddy Road Covered Bridge (in Thurmont) and Gettysburg (Gettysburg Museum of History & Horseback Riding Tours). There's lots more to do: get to know the fascinating history of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, wander the streets of Annapolis Historic District, get to know the resident critters at National Zoological Park, and explore the galleries of U.S. Naval Academy.
