Going to D.c. for 2 weeks this summer

as part of a summer school exchange type of thing. I'll be staying around the Foggy Bottom GWU campus. We're likely going to visit the Federal Reserve, Pentagon and White House. Anything else interesting that I should see/do?

The Newseum is a pretty awesome museum there. Lots of awesome stuff in all the museums in D.C.

I think one was called P.O.V. and the other Marvin. However I was there over summer and I do believe both were rooftop bars, not sure what they would be like in Winter.[/quote]

Looks pretty good, thanks!

Sure. The only decent place I've heard of in Foggy Bottom so far is called the Codmother.

DC isn't that special lol.

I would, however, recommend going to many of the Smithsonian museums. Oh yeah and go to Ben's Chili Bowl.
Umm... maybe the Kennedy Center?

Those are all I can think of lol.. but one more thing....

You wait in line for 1+ hour to see 5 rooms of ONE floor of the white house. It's NOT worth it. Not one bit.
