I'm booked for a week in Washington D.C. at cherry hill park. I heard it was a great park. Anybody got any suggestions of " must do" stuff. I'm staying a week, so I hope to see many things. Obviously I know about the most common attractions, air and space, white house, etc. I was wondering if you know of any over or under rated attractions.

That's a nice looking campground.  I put that on my list. Is there a subway near enough to ride into DC?

As I understand it zubrew, it's all set for transportation. From right inside the campground, to the metro, to where ever your going. No vehicle is needed, infact, I was told by many don't bother driving, its worse to try to drive. They have a series of buses that you can get on / get off all over washington. I am so psyched for the trip. I'm a serious history buff, and proud american.

Two tips.  Make sure you visit the Air and Space Museum Annex which is out by Dulles Airport.  They keep all the big planes there.  You will see the Enola Gay (the B29 that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, the space shuttle Discovery, a concorde aircraft, a U2 spy plane.  It is great and many people miss seeing it
Tip Two.  Write/Call you local Senator/Congressman.  They can get you tickets into the Senate chambers, special tours of the US Mint (no waiting on lines), Supreme court and even the White House (this was during Obama do not know if Trump is allowing tours into White House but your representatives will know and they are the only ones who could get you tickets.  Have fun.  Agree Do not take a car into DC. We use the metro to get around, cheaper than the on off buses
