weyes Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 'k, i only get to dc every couple of years, but when i last went, i got to see the fdr memorial when it was newnewnew. holy crap, people, if you haven't been there (and i wonder if residents of dc really go to all of the memorials and museums - do you?) it's totally worth it just for the ridiculously oversized statue of the greatest first pet ever, fala the scottie.that was one damn cute dog.

tinybutterfli Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I've been there! I was there last month while I was admiring the cherry blossoms. Yes, the dog is very cute! LOL I have a pic somewhere... I'll see if I can dig it up.I've been living in DC for about 14 years now and I've never been inside the White House... or to the top of the Washington Monument but I have been to all the musuems. I just recently visited the American History museum. They have Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz One of the guards told me that they will be opening up a September 11th exhibit on the one year anniversary this year.

The natural museum of history and science has the Hope Diamond. It's worth the free admission just to see that thing. I spent two days back in the winter just walking through all the museums and stuff, had a great time and almost learned something while I was there.

My favorite is the Air & Space musuem but I really like the Museum of Natural History too. If anyone is looking for free entertainment, you should definitely check out the museums!
