Posts: 1925 (08/17/2009 9:56 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I've talked about going before and I am finally going! I'm going 11/11-11/16, 4 FULL days. I'm not too familiar with the area so I don't know what activities to do on the same days so I can make the most of my days. Here's what I need on it: Broncos/Redskins game(Sunday 1pm; plan for us to be there noon-5PM) Ford's Theatre White House Smithsonians Lincoln Memorial Washington Memorial Mount Vernon Colonial Williamsburg Arlington National Cemetary Weather pending: A round of golf If no golf, massage/spa time in place of it Add other things if you think we have time for it. It's just my husband and myself. Help me out

But I still don't have any idea what I should pair these places with guys! I mean, I don't want to go to the museums and White House the same day if they're no where near each other, ya know? I know one of you can help me
