As we travel up from Charlotte, we find ourselves in a little known place called Washington DC aka the capital of the United States of America. While most people will tell you what you can see on the hill including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Capitol, and The White House, you would be surprised to find out that DC offers more than just a well-known and iconic government inspired buildings. Home to a thriving downtown arts scene, Washington DC also has the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian National Air, and Space Museum, as well as the Union Market. If you are traveling with young kids, be sure to check out the Spy Museum as it can be, at once, both fun and exciting to learn about different spy tactics the United States has used at home and abroad over the years.
