Review:
The nation's capital is often considered America's front yard, or even America's playground, and rightly so because there is much to see and do while in the District of Columbia. From guided tours of the White House to trying the drinks and cuisine at the many restaurants and bars, visitors will infinite ways to spend their vacation time. Even better is that a lot of the historical attractions are free; sites such as the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument are open to the public at no cost. Thanks to the Smithsonian, visitors can spend their time in Washington D.C. exploring museums, galleries, and the National Zoo for free as well. Sites that shouldn't be missed include the African American Museum, the Air and Space Museum, the American History Museum, and the Freer Gallery of Art.
