[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2969861, member: 688"] If you want to get into anything other than the many Smithsonian museums, you [U]must[/U] plan ahead. Some tickets (capitol hill etc) can be obtained through your Congressman's office. Others seem to require a tour agency or else standing in line for hours the day before....crazy. It is crowded with people and frustrating not to be able to get into places into which you might reasonably expect to gain entrance. Our experience with the tour tram that makes a circuit of al the sites was negative: it sounds great but once you get off to see something you are not ever going to be able to get back on! Rant off. Lots of great stuff there but it has challenges. Side note: My oldest daughter was there on a college tour in the Senate office building not too long after 911. There was an unidentified aircraft in restricted airspace. Alarms went off and security started yelling at everyone to get out. Mass panic and exodus - dress shoes off, barefoot running....The potential for interesting events is real. [/QUOTE]
