    I highly recommend the Smithsonian (you can't go wrong with any but my personal favorite was the National Air & Space), the National Portrait Gallery and the U.S. Holocaust Museum.

    I've also always enjoyed walking around Georgetown and finding a nice spot to eat outside weather permitting.

      The Library of Congress may be the most impressive building in DC. Well worth the tour.

        Smithsonian and the Air & Space May be the greatest museums in the world. Air and space probably played a shaping role in my life. We visited as part of a 7th grade class trip. So much engineering and physical science in one place.

        I know when the F4 eventually goes back to DC, me and the mrs are going to spend at LEAST a week out there beforehand.

          Air & Space definitely also a great choice.

          Newseum was kinda neat, particularly the section with all the papers going back to the 1600s, and the section on murdered journalists/press freedom worldwide.

            RIP Newseum. I actually liked the Newseum.

              If they hadn't put so much crap in the basement and stayed in a smaller building, they might have made it. Unabomber's cabin was interesting to see, but how many fooking 10-ft sections of the Berlin Wall do we need to exhibit outside of Germany?

                  First night in Bangkok we naturally hit up a German beer hall. Today shopping and eating around Siam Square, SW9 in 4Dx, boat noodles for dinner and likely falling asleep while the family watches S1 of Stranger Things which I've already seen.

                    Sounds exotic. I might get to Home Depot this weekend if I'm lucky.

                      Old Siam sq?
                      That food court is the best. Mookie is heading there tomorrow

                        We head to the beach Monday a.m. and will spend 1 day snorkeling, 1 day rafting, 1 day camping before 2 days on Koh Samui, then back to Bangkok, then to Chiang Mai and the surrounding mountains. Just for next week, Frank. Also New Years in Bangkok sounds better than streaking in the union.

                          How do we make this fair? Body cams? I'll show you the tool aisle, while you show me the wonders of the world?

                              Chiang Mai has to be one of my best travel experiences ever.

                                Agreed - looking forward to it.

                                Tonight is our first night in Rayong. We had much fresh seafood just in off the boat for dinner I might grow tentacles by morning.
