Going to DC with a friend for a couple days and am wondering if Hexbear has some ideas on what to do. We already have a list of the 4 (maybe 5) museums we're going to, so probably don't need any suggestions there. (Though feel free if somewhere was super cool to you.) Preferably things close to metro and/or downtown.

Ride the Metro, like all day long. It's lovely. Then you get an idea of how nice we could have it in the US. Just hanging out in the various pubic parks is also really nice. If you can suspend you disgust of the military, go to the evening parade with the silent drill platoon at the 8th & I barracks/the Marine Corps commandants house. I detest the corps, especially having been a part of it. But I'm a nerd for drill/parade stuff, and as a show of what people are capable of it's a pretty cool demonstration. Don't forget to spit on the white house lawn and the memorials to all the past tyrants too!
