DC is a great place to visit and 3 days is not enough to see all DC has to offer.  Great Night Life, Great Museums and Monuments, Politics, Family Activities, and you can find great hotel rates during July and August.  As always, here at the American Guest House we offer great summer rates, FREE Hot breakfast, free Internet and free use of a computer in case you did not bring one.  Check us out - You’ll be happy you did.

This is a must see if you are intrigued by espionage.  My husband and son really enjoyed the visit and will probably be back too.   There is a fee but it was worth it.   Visit their web site for special events for kids and adults.

We enjoyed our visit to Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum even though we thought to be a bit pricey.   But we figured it was Ok since all of the Smithsonian museums and monuments are free.   It is fun for the whole family.
