[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love that the museums are free. Every time we visit another city and have to pay to go to a museum I'm reminded of how great it is that we can pop in anytime for a quick visit.[/quote]

So true. Having my baseline be "free" actually makes being a tourist elsewhere less enjoyable. For example, take New York:

MoMA: $25
National Gallery of Art + various Smithsonian art museums: Free

Bronx Zoo: $40
Smithsonian Zoo: Free

Empire State Building: $42
Washington Monument observation deck: $1.50 reservation fee

Multiply that over all members of your family/group, throw in food, and it's just much much easier to have a nice day in DC without breaking the bank. And after you've exhausted all the touristy stuff, [b]we still have lovely tree-lined neighborhoods that are just so pleasant to stroll around. I think DC has the perfect balance of city amenities while not being so dense and overwhelming[/b] that I feel like I'm constantly being crushed by other people. [/quote]

Hmmm....speaks for itself[/quote]
