This is a great place for a burrito. It is styled like Subway. You move through the line and tell them what you want on your burrito. Inexpensive and fun.

Small, cramped and jammed full of wine and spirits. We brought home some Grand Cru Chablis from here last year which you can't find in Oregon. Great!

You can spend an entire week or more traveling around D.C. visiting all of the Smithsonian facilities and the National Galleries.

We were impressed with everywhere we went and probably did not see even half of the exhibits during the last two years.

This website is a valuable guide to study while planning your visit to D.C. and well worth the time to take in the grandeur of the National Mall.
Arlington National Cemetery

www.arlingtoncemetery.org

The Tomb of the Unkown Soldier, The Eternal Flame of the Kennedy grave, the Arlington House...Inspiring!
And some of the other sites we saw in D.C...
The Supreme Court

The highest judicial body in the country. Nine judges and not a one of them would fix a parking ticket!
The National Cathedral

There was a graduation taking place the day we went, but still a reverent experience. A must see.
