If you are in DC and want something sweet to do, look no further: The Mansion on O street. I have heard that it was established as a secret club for important people to have extremely private liaisons. The mansion has 100 rooms and 32 secret doors. You are free to try to find all the secret doors and touch everything, without anyone standing over you or nattering away about the history of the place. Also it is full of art and music. I haven't done it yet but I am super excited to check it out.
Also a tour of the Supreme Court is high on my list. When we were in DC, we did a tour of the Capitol building, which was less than ideal, but we did get to experience the acoustic phenomenon where people can stand at two spots quite far apart and hear each other perfectly. If you talk to your representative (House rep., I think) you can get tickets for a tour of the Dome. They say that's a workout, because you have to climb a million stairs to the top and there is no stopping point along the way. So do it before you're old and lame. Also if you talk to your representative you can get access to the House floor and the Senate floor to watch them debate. (Not the floor really, but the galleries.)
And my favorite new blog is this. It's so easy to be satisfied!
