[quote=Anonymous]Looking for any tried and true tips on special things to do with a visiting European teen-age girl. Her family will arrive two weeks after she does, so we'll do the Monuments, Tour of the Capitol, etc., with them. I'm looking for things that are slightly off the beaten track, quintessentially American and fun for a teen. I'll also have my younger kids with  me, who are 6 and 11.

Here's what I'm thinking of...any tips, yeas/nays welcome...I have no experience with teen girls except from my own time as a teen girl!

- Hanging at our neighborhood pool;
- Downtown Bethesda and Tastee Diner; 
- Washington Mystics game;
- Baseball (Nationals if I can snag cheap tickets - are the $20/$10 seats worth it?) Or else Frederick Keys or Bethesda Big Train or Orioles;
- Chesapeake Bay and outing to a crab shack nearby;
- National Zoo;
- Outdoor movie /Drive through movie - any suggestions? Perhaps Bengies in Baltimore or National Harbor movies...if we do this may combine with day trip to Accokeek; 
- Mount Vernon; 
- Richmond, VA with Byrd Theatre, Monument Avenue, Capitol; 
- Great Falls? 
- Monticello / Charlottesville?
- Luray & Caverns? 
- Old Town Alexandria?  
- Nordstroms, shopping at Montgomery Mall or Tysons or other...
- Whole Foods, Giant, everyday shopping....

Again, when the rest of her family arrives, we will do the Smithsonian, monuments, Newseum, Capitol Hill tour, etc.  
 
Thanks!!  [/quote]
