I travelled from Michigan to Washington D.C. and was fortunate to be able to do so. I recommend seeing a U2 show outside of your usual city/locale. It was a lot of fun and it got me out to see the monuments and museums. Nineteen Smithsonian museums are free to the public. Also, all the cool memorials--the Lincoln, the Jefferson, the WWII, the Korean and Vietnam memorials. Well worth seeing and we all need a reminder of our patriotic roots at this time.
