I`m visiting Washington DC

[Eightball]

Hello, Sorry this isn`t a thread about detailing!



I`m visiting Washington DC for 3 & a bit days over the weekend with my girlfriend. I`ve booked tickets for the Capitols vx Hurricanes hockey game and we`ll be having a look at the White House & Capitol Building and doing some more of the usual tourist stuff.



Is there anything to see/do in Washington that may not be immediately obvious for visitors or that is off of the usual tourist trail.



Cheers

Andy

PS. This`ll be our first visit to the States.

Andy, apologies I did not get back to Autopia quicker after my holiday to the US as I could have assisted in your query. Take a look at the attached thread where I asked for Washington tourist advice and got great suggestions and information from fellow Autopians. I guess given the timing it is academic now as you have already visited Washington.

Cheers Hemi, You are quite correct about it being academic now, I guess I really should have searched the forum first . We did have a great time, think I fitted in a fair amount of sightseeing. We did everything that I planned to do anyway.
