Visiting Washington, D.C.

Washington, DC, a beautiful and dynamic city, is the center of democracy for the world. Located on the border between Virginia and Maryland, Washington is a "northern" city with a touch of "southern" charm. Whether you're visiting in the spring during the height of Cherry Blossom season or in the fall when each leaf chooses an individual shade, Washington is always a wonderful place to visit. It is also a great value for the family because many of the sites are free!
