The Old Post Office
The Archives
National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden
The Capitol
Union Station

International Spy Museum
National Portrait Gallery
Navy Memorial
World War II Memorial

Kayaked down the Potomac (saw the Kennedy Center & Watergate Complex)

And I stayed on the campus of Georgetown University...it was a beautiful campus even though everything there was uphill! :)
