[quote=Anonymous]I know it’s frustrating.  Growing up, my parents took me on fantastic vacations all over the US. My husband didn’t like to go on trips, so we took very few family vacations and I always regretted not being able to give my kids those experiences.

HOWEVER, DC is a fabulous place to be if you can’t travel. Aside from the fact that it makes a fantastic vacation destination in and of itself, it brings the world to your doorstep.  There are so many great festivals that allow you to explore other cultures (Smithsonian Folklife and Sakura Matsuri were 2 of our favorites).  There are ethnic restaurants, performances of all kinds - including international acts, and museums that have special events.   There are cultural organizations that may sponsor special events, as well.

DC also serves as a great home base from which to take day trips or spend long weekends at Baltimore, Luray caverns, the beach, Shenandoah, Philadelphia, Williamsburg, or even New York.

I know DCUM is antiscreen, but there are some fabulous resources that bring the world into your home - live webcams of National parks and other places of interest. Residents of an area showing you the special places of interest, giving you their perspective, and explaining their culture, music and dance performances, shows that make history come alive, incredible footage of every natural phenomenon, and expert explanations of any topic of interest, etc.[/quote]
