Will have two days between meetings in DC, late August. Have been to almost all the Smithsonians, Mall monuments, memorials, etc. in the past.
Have also been a little further out...Mount Vernon, Monticello, Gettysburg, Udvar-Hazy, Baltimore harbor.
So with that time frame, willing to drive a little, not a lot, is there something I haven't seen that I should? Would the Shenandoah Park be worth the drive? Are there any museums, memorials, etc. that I haven't seen that I should? I'm a big Civil War fan, wife much lesser enthralled, but she still enjoys it.
We have not been in the Capitol or White House, or up in the Washington Monument. Don't know if any of those are worth it.
Also would appreciate opinions on night tours of DC, or cruises on the Potomac.
Finally, is there a web site where you can see what idiots have protests planned? Would love to avoid any "antifa" and other bullcrap.
