About This Trail

Imported description

The city is more varied than you might think, and it's fun if you have a clear-cut agenda. Travel + Leisure has taken the liberty of dividing families into four groups and mapped out lots of activities for each of them. You can eat and sleep as you please. So skip the forced march. Take your cue from your family's temperament and move on. Washington is the site of two presidential assassinations and 217 years of congressional machinations. Your biggest challenge is resisting the urge to read every sign.
