So, totally off topic, as if there is a topic.
My niece will be visiting with us in the fall and wants to visit Washington DC while she's here. My husband and I have been a few times, so we're looking for the best itinerary for her and her 2 kids. (They'll be 6 and 4 by then). Any suggestions?

Well, I've never been to DC (I know, it's sad), but my friends have two kids about that age and they took them to the Smithsonian (National Air and Space Museum and National Museum of Natural History) and their kids came home chattering away about it.

That's way past sad, considering how close you live. How can you not have gone at least once? Too busy with Disney

We're thinking of just a quick 2-day trip, so we'll probably do the Natural History museum and the National Zoo. Then if we have time we'll do more Smithsonian stuff, and I want to take them up the elevator in the Old Post Office and maybe over to see the National Cathedral. The kids will be a little young to appreciate some of the historical stuff, but they'll be impressed with the city I'm sure. I'm checking into the tour bus things where you hop on and off wherever you please. I think that would work best for the kids (and adults) to minimize getting them over tired. I'm so excited that they're coming.(They live out in Seattle, so we don't see them very often.)

We'll probably be taking them to Boston too, so we'll probably do the Duck Boats there, but thanks for the suggestion. Now I just have to figure out where to stay. Dave and I usually stay in Falls Church, but I think we stayed in College Park once too when our kids were younger.

You mean they're not going to WDW? At that age, the kids should be indulged in Disney magic, not boring political government historical stuff. :rolleyes: I just cannot understand why someone (especially traveling with kids that age) would go somewhere like that. I have a cousin who always takes his family to places like Niagara Falls & Williamsburg for their summer trips. o_O Umm...seriously?? I just don't get it, and feel sorry for his children. I've tried giving them tips on how to do WDW right: which parks to hit first, where to eat, which resorts to stay at, which attractions to go on early, where to park, when to go to DTD, where to shop, how much $$$ to bring, where to find the characters, where to sit for the parade, the best spot for the fireworks, how FP's work, the best park for nighttime atmosphere, rides that may be too scary for little ones, which shows to see, what to say to Woody & Buzz that'll make 'em fall down, where to find the princesses, best places to cool off on a hot central-Fla day, restrooms with the most comfortable toilet seats, best places to see a celebrity, best time of year to avoid crowds, how to speak Portuguese, where to find the best Vinylmation, etc. Yet they still reject talking Disney with me for some reason (?) :confused: I'll just never understand some people.

I hope you'll reconsider the D.C. thing.

Actually they're not Disney fans at all. My niece grew up in a Disney family, and she's had enough of it, so when she had her kids, her plan was to take them to places that actually mean something.

Maybe you should give your cousin your mugs from 10 years ago and let them use those. Oh, and don't forget to mention how to pool hop efficiently. And make sure you tell them to go to guest relations and complain about a CM who blinked so they'll get free stuff.

Do these things and they'll be sure to skip that boring politically governmental stuffs.

What an ungrateful child. I'd show her more Disney films to get her prepared for a WDW trip. This may help her grasp the magic better and "get it". One of us, one of us...Gooble, Gobble, Gooble, Gobble.
I can send you a list of all Disney animated films she should watch for her pre-WDW homework if you'd like.

I know you're being a bit sarcastic, but do you really think I should suggest a Disney trip rather than Washington (they could afford to do both actually)?

The real me says no. I'd love to go to D.C. someday, and would not miss an opportunity to see the Nation's capitol.

(Now back to the joking me). DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY!!! There is nowhere else on the globe worth seeing except Disney!!!

*Snorts some more pixie dust*
Gaaaaahh yeah!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

Part of me says yes just so the kids can experience it, but it wouldn't be worth it if the mother was miserable. But going to DC isn't bad either, I'd just make sure that the kids wouldn't be bored. I know if I was given a chance of seeing all the monuments and museums I'd take it.

I don't know if miserable is the right word, she just has different priorities for her kids. She's really quite smart - got a free ride all the way through college and post-grad. She's an eye doctor.

I do think the kids would eventually appreciate a trip to WDW, just maybe not this year.
