So, okay, I am spending this weekend in Boston and then heading off to Washington DC for a few days, and I pretty much have no idea what I want to do while I am in either place!

Anyone got any suggestions for me? I like things like museums and pretty areas to wander around and cultural landmarks and such, also things that are accessible by public transport and do not require really huge amounts of walking.

There are of course all the monuments in DC along the mall. Our Zoo is very nice, it has pandas! Dupont circle is a great place to walk around for shopping or just window shopping. Plus there's some nice gay book stores and the HRC shop.

The art museum is fabulous as is the natural history museum and since they are all Smithsonians they are free! My personal fav is the American History museum but I am a history nerd. There is also the SPY Museum though that costs. It's a great one though! The Holocaust museum may be the very best museum I have ever been to. SKIP the Crime and Punishment museum, it's only fair.

I would say no to Georgetown but that's because I'm a DC person and there is stigma but it is pretty, has lots of shopping, and you can see the waterfront there. Oh! And of course there is my work at NGS. We have an exhibit up on energy right now in the one half of the museum and the other side has a thing on the inventions of Da Vinci.

And of course there is me to hang out with!
