As I mentioned earlier, Dear Hubby (DH) and I have spent considerable time in Washington, DC. I interned for a U.S. Congressman for two summers, completed the LSU-S American Studies Washington Semester Program, and attended Close-Up during high school. DH lived here for three years before moving to Atlanta.

Visitors can spend days and weeks in Washington, DC and still not see everything the city offers. A few spots that I would say are “new and improved” since my days as an intern are Ford’s Theatre and the Old Post Office Tower. Both are just a few short blocks from each other so you can hit both on the same trip.
