And there's school shootings and mall shootings in every state of the USA. Are we going to stop living in the USA? Mexico City and Cancun are both easy trips from the DC area (4 hours) and have lots of fun stuff teens would like (Xcaret/pyramids/beaches in Cancun, where you can get a hotel 15 minutes from the airport since you're short of time). Mexico City is more museums/shopping/pyramids (Teotihuacan not too far) and big city fun. Plus some beautiful places in the countryside about 1 or 2 hours from the city depending on where you stay.
