Here%26#39;s our tenative plan with blanks, I need your help to fill them in !! We like to travel liesurely, and don%26#39;t like to jam our day with activities. Some things I was considering: Lincoln Memorial; Walk around Georgetown; Mary McFadden exhibit at Nat. Museum of Women in the Arts; Newseum; Ride the Ducks. Please clue me in to any activities you think would appeal to teens and any special events/exhibitions that might be of interest over the next few days!!

Help me fill in the blanks--TODAY!!
Sunday is the last day of the ';Pompeii and the Roman Villa'; exhibit at the National Gallery. Might be crowded, but it was excellent.
Help me fill in the blanks--TODAY!!
A visit to Alexandria, the old town is very charming!!
Since Sunday is supposed to be nice - in the mid 60s and Sunny, my vote is to go to the Lincoln Memorial - walk to the WW2 Memorial... and then just walk down the National Mall. Along the way, there are tons of memorials (Vietnam, FDR, Wash Monument) and of course, there are the museums. At that pt, if you want to go to the Nationaal Gallery of Art go for it. Another Museum that is not that visited is the US Botanicals.
Thanks
Thanks for the suggestions
On Sunday it will be a visit to the mall, Lincoln %26amp; WWII memorials, and possible visit to Nat Gallery
any other thoughts for Mon afternoon after Spy Museuam, or Tues morning before Capitol, please advise!!
As you are staying in the Tysons area, head over to the other mall, the shopping mall, you can get lunch/dinner and the teens can shop, it probably has every store they%26#39;ve ever wanted to go to.
