I'd go to DC to see some picture-perfect hangings. Or even some real ugly ones, if the subject was appropriate to it.

The National Air and Space Museum downtown has been undergoing a two year remodel and is likely worth the visit. They are going to close to do the final work 28 March until fall though. The other museum that is surprisingly very interesting and not visited much is the National Postal Museum - https://postalmuseum.si.eduAlthough there are more options than their used to be, if downtown we often eat at https://www.ebbitt.com
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

My one trip to DC was in 2020.
Too many sites were closed down due to COVID porn.
The NRA museum was closed along with many other venues.
Visited the WWII memorial. Only got to drive by Arlington, but even that was impressive.
Went to Mount Vernon. Impressive.
Went to Harper's Ferry. Also very impressive.
The most impressive thing we saw was the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, PA.
Took a drive over to Delaware. Amazingly, I was expecting parking lots and buildings! Saw way more agricultural activity than I ever expected. 😳
Stopped after crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to have crab cakes and a soft shell crab sandwich! Good stuff Maynard!

I'd check out the zoo and the circus. One of them is at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. Don't know the address for Congress.

went there as a kid with our family in the olden days.
Still remember Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and that pool, Jefferson's memorial, we went to a couple of the surrounding deals too. Monticello and Mount Vernon.
No "Wall" there at that time, but we did see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
They were important things to an 8 year old American boy then. Thanks, we need them to still be important to those 8 year old children for sure.

I'm sure there a few colorful homeless encampments you can check out. That’s what I’ve heard.

If it was me - I think I'd want to see the Tomb of the Unknown, The Wall and that's about it. Maybe Arlington for a good cry. Also when at Arlington, wander off into the old sections where no one else ever goes The peace and quiet are refreshing after all of the hustle and bustle of the city, and it is a great place to reflect on what Arlington stands for. This. This sounds interesting, thank you

Lots to see if you’re at all a fan of US history as it relates to our government IMO. The Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, the White House (what’s open to tourist was dated and rundown looking when we visited, the park across the street was full of homeless). It’s still work seeing and gives a sense of perspective and the setting that you don’t get from seeing a press conference in the Rose Garden. The theater that Lincoln was shot in, Arlington Cemetery. Are all well with seeing. Arlington Cemetery, and the theater, and White House were my personal highlights but there’s all kind of things to see. Like Disney World for American history fans. Thank you for this.

Definitely go to Arlington if you've never been there before. Local buddy has the honor of recently being transferred there as a Chaplain. I'm gonna ride the bike down and spend a day with him as soon as it warms up. Been there a few times, twice for burials, still "feel" it every time I'm there.
Vietnam Memorial is inspiring also. I think I enjoy watching the gentlemen about my Dad's age as much as looking at the Memorial itself. Just feel honored to be in their presence. Thank you.

Have a work trip coming up so I started looking at the sights to see, and realizing you’ll run out of time before you run out of options, I thought I would put it up here for some suggestions. Saw things like the International Spy Museum, Holocaust Museum, and of course the Smithsonian, but I figure there are some sights in DC that folks on this forum are aware of that might save me some time while I’m there, thanks in advance for any suggestions. As many as you can see and have time for. 👍🏽 Gonna be hustling!
