Sightseeing

Entry into the State House is free and if you are a history buff it's a must-see! If history isn't your thing but you are hot and tired after walking around downtown, pop into this air-conditioned historic building for a quick break from the heat! (You may just learn something while you are in there)

Hang out by the water downtown and you are sure to see all kinds of watercraft from stand-up paddleboards to mega-yachts. As you watch you may notice many boats that make their way up the alley only to turn around and leave immediately... hence the name "Ego Alley".

This one's an obvious option for a day trip. Some local recommendations: 1. Drive to the New Carrollton station and take the metro into the city, DC has a pretty good public transit system, so no need for a car. 2. See the monuments at night, there are fewer crowds and the heat is more bearable. 3. Have Ethiopian food for dinner if you are a fan, DC has the largest concentration of Ethiopians in the US so restaurants are plentiful and delicious.
