Picnics in the park and cherry blossoms await you at the Washington Monument.

Order a guide and map from Washington DC's official site.

DC has 186 embassies. Enjoy performances, lessons, and lots of food during the embassy tour from each respective (participating) country.

The embassies often host open houses which is definitely a fun experience with many performances and lessons learned. We recommend going to many and tasting all they have to offer.

Out of all the zoos, this one is our favorite.

The Smithsonian Institution is not only world renowned, but home to some of our favorite museums. With 17 museums and galleries, and one zoo, the Smithsonian Institute's many locations are free for all.

I hope you like cherry blossoms. Depending on the weather, there will be lots of them. Check out the Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival), or just take a stroll and view the pink and white.
