Hey everyone -

I'm going to vacation

on the Eastern Seaboard in January (don't ask why January), and I was wondering what you all think I should see in DC and Virginia (the focus of my trip)... my hotel will actually be across the street from the Iwo Jima Monument/Arlington, so I'm definitely there, but I've never been to our nation's capital, and I wonder what all you grunts think are must-see sites?

I believe Aberdeen Proving Grounds, with all of the armor displays, is right there.

Smithsonian Air and Space museum

Aberdeen (Maryland) Proving grounds (per Herr Goblin)

Aircraft Museum (name escapes me) at Silver Springs Md. (check at Air and Space for info)

If you get to Baltimore try to see USS Constellation, sister ship to Old Ironsides, and while your there visit Ft. McHenry, home of the Star Spangled Banner.

Civil War sites in Md. at Frederick, Antithem, (sp?), South Mountain, (prelude to Anthitem SP/)

I won't get into the various museums etc, mostly free also.

Have a nice trip, the history is there just look around.

Kedalion:

Yeah I forgot the most important place to visit not too far from where your staying.......ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY......This will remind us/you that war is not a game. Please don't take this a anti war or any political statement. This is amust see in the DC area.

Now I'll get off my high horse.

Don't forget the new WWII memorial either. But I guess that's right under your nose so you can't miss it.

Otherwise...yep, Smithsonian and Aberdeen.
