[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 260871, member: 6479"] As for Difficult Child - there may still be some lingering wonderful cherry blossom madness (we're going down there this weekend). This weekend is the peak, but since you'll be here soon after, you should catch some of it! That means a trip over to the Tidal Basin (presidential monument-land) is in order. The Mall and all the Smithsonian Museums are always gonna be a good bet, as well! Depending on how much time you have, the National Zoo is a wonderful way to spend a few hours. You can metro there easily. Difficult Child's got lots of little places to discover, it's hard to list 'em. One of my fav things to do is fly kites on the Mall, so I'm not hard to please. :) The art galleries along the Mall are usually overlooked, but are actually phenomenal---the Hirshhorn/Sculpture Gallery I really like---it's WAY different. The National Cathedral doesn't get enough visits, either. Not religious, but I love the beauty! Fav food/drink things in Difficult Child. Sushi on the conveyor belt (Sushi-Go-Round @ Gallery Place), tapas at Jaleo (also Gallery Place, reservations are a good idea to cut down the wait time). Irish Pub called "Kelly's Irish Times" across from Union Station (my friend runs the bar, it's a lovely [U]dive[/U] bar). Mr. Smith's (bar) in Georgetown for the ridiculousness of a piano bar (dunno how busy it is on a weeknight, though!). What kinda stuff do you guys like to do? I'm not much of a shopper! [/QUOTE]
