[quote=Anonymous]Mount Vernon is nice at Christmas. Also go to the national archives, then cross the street to the ice rink in the national gallery sculpture garden.. people who don't want to skate can go to the cafe. Filomena and Martin's tavern are restaurants in Georgetown that are heavily decorated for Christmas. The postal museum is surprisingly interesting and close to union station. The zoo also does zoo lights but that is at night so if you want to see most animals it's better to go in the daylight. See what's playing at the Kennedy center, Arena stage, and other local theaters (the National has touring productions; Ford's theater does a Christmas carol and you can also take a tour there with Lincoln assassination history). Since you like history, Lincoln's cottage could also be interesting though it's easier to get to by car. There's an interesting display of nativities from around the world at the basilica in brookland, and the Mormon temple in suburban Maryland does a Christmas event too (outdoors). For fish, del mar at the wharf for a fancy meal and ivy City smokehouse for casual. Also be sure to drive past the monuments at night in addition to seeing them during the day... they are beautiful all lit up. There are ranger talks during the day which can be interesting; look at the nps website for details. Have a good trip!![/quote]
