I flew direct at Easter this year from Heathrow on BA but I hate flying with them. This time with AA but no direct flights although only a quick stop off at Raleigh, Durham. Fantastic pics howls and the weather is as good as that just now.
Brilliant museums here - was at Newseum today where we spent 5 hours. Enthralling. And the Holocaust Museum was the best museum I've ever been to although it's powerful stuff. It was the Washington Marathon today - now they always make me cry and today was no exception.
I cannot believe how cheap everything is here but I always think that. We obviously live in Rip-off country.
Anyway, I can really recommend here! Great for kids and if you're staying longer, you can hire a car and travel out to Virginia, etc. for the mountains and national parks.
