Spending time with your grandkids is so important. You might not realize how much your being there for basketball games and having weekend sleepovers means to them, but it’s big. What better way to make memories and enjoy your grandkids’ company than to take them on a trip to the nation’s capital?
There are some experiences you truly never forget, and your first time to D.C. is definitely one of them. Of course, you must see all the monuments (we know Honest Abe will be their favorite), the Capitol, the White House, and the Library of Congress, but that’s just the start. The National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, the Newseum, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Gallery of Art, and the United States Botanic Garden are all worth seeing. Mount Vernon and the Arlington National Cemetery are both worth a short trip, and Georgetown’s famous architecture is a must-see. There are a million ways to experience D.C., and none of them are wrong.
