[quote=Anonymous]We're getting ready to say goodbye to one au pair and welcome another.  Our departing AP has been fine, and for the most part I think she's had a good experience.  But she wasn't one to take much initiative and wasn't too outgoing.  She also spent more time shopping at the mall than anything else in her spare time.  I know that's not too uncommon, but I still feel a bit bad that she wasted so many opportunities to do so much here in the DC area.

Soooo . . . one of the things I have been thinking about working on is a suggested AP bucket list for an AP in DC.  In other words, I have been thinking of what places, experiences, etc. I would recommend to our new AP.  I'd like to try to motivate the new one a little to see a little more.  FWIW, I am not trying to be controlling here, and I know everyone is different.  I sometimes just don't think people realize all there is to do and see here, much of it inexpensive or free.  And I think it might be fun to try to check them off and help her accomplish some of them over the year.

Anyone want to offer some suggestions?  What would you put on a list of things to see for a young adult who is going to be in DC for a year?

I'll start with some.  What would you add?

US Capitol
White House
Monuments 
Old Post Office Pavilion tower
Library of Congress
Spy Museum
Newseum
Holocaust Museum
Mount Vernon
Smithsonian Museums
Arlington Cemetery
Georgetown
concert at the Kennedy Center
pro sports team game (Nationals, Wizards, Redskins. . .)
Gravelley Point
Cherry Blossoms
Great Falls State Park

And for a nearby road trip:

NYC
Lancaster County
Hershey
Philadelphia
Ocean City area
Baltimore Inner Harbor

Maybe some of you out there are more creative and fun than I am?  Thanks!
