Washington Monument, Washington, DC – April 2014

Some of our favorites:
See: Any of the Smithsonian museums – pick just one and take your time exploring it (we chose the National Museum of American History).
Do:Newseum – informative museum highlighting the role of journalism and media.
Do: Use Capital Bikeshare as your mode of transportation. We found it to be the best way to get around the National Mall and all of its memorials.
Drink:DACHA Beer Garden – good outdoor bar in the Shaw neighborhood
Eat (dinner): Sticky Rice – fun sushi/Asian place (sticky balls are a must!)
Eat (brunch): Ted’s Bulletin

For just $7 a day, Capital Bikeshare makes getting across the National Mall quick and easy.
