Washington, D.C. Travel Tips

Call me Clark.  I’m loading the kids into the family truckster (Volvo wagon) and driving them to Washington, D.C. at the end of March.  We’re going to do the usuals: tour the Capitol Building, spend a day in the Smithsonian(s); visit Mount Vernon.

But my question for you, dear blog readers, is this: What else should I know?  Any off-the-beaten-track suggestions?  How about where to stay (I’m currently searching VRBO.com, and looking for hotel deals)?  Anything else?

Thanks for your help!
