OT - Visit to Washington, D.C.

One of my friends will be travelling to Washington next week. She and
a bunch of ladies will be shopping and sightseeing while the husbands
attend meetings. What are some *must-sees* or *dos* I could suggest
to her?

There's way more to see in Washington then there's time to see it. They
should just stop at a Visitor's Bureau desk, or the concierge in their hotel
and they will be bombarded with a ton of information.

Among some of the more important (at least to me) places to visit is the
Smithsonian, but to really see it all takes forever.

There are all the government buildings and monuments and tours and so on,
and so on, ad infinitum. They might also want to go to Arlington and see
the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier. If they just
want to shop and eat, there are great shopping centers and excellent choices
for restaurants.

I'm sure if Ellice sees this, she will write a note pointing out all the
more important to see and great places. It really is a visitor's paradise.

If they are on the Mall at lunchtime, I recommend the Mitisam Cafe in
the Museum of the American Indian. The food is unique and quite tasty.
And I love the US Botanical Gardens.

I forgot that lucky you, you live in that area too. I've been at the
Botanical Garden but never at the Indian Museum and now I feel deprived.

I've got lots of info now from all of you (and the quilting group) and
I thank you - my list is about a mile long now so I'll pass that on to
her. Thanks so much everyone.
