From the Author
Hello. If you're holding this book, you probably have have a child, either a recent or somewhat older model. Maybe you have several. Or perhaps you're a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, a teacher or someone else who is responsible at times for shepherding other people's children. Regardless, you're probably hoping to find worth-while things to do in the Washington area that will excite and engage the kids yet leave your sanity intact or - who knows? perhaps even enhanced.
You've come to the right place. The two of us have spent the last several years checking out hundreds of area attractions with our own and others' children. We've toured the town on solo missions, with spouses and with day care, school and other merry groups. We've done it with infants and teenagers, occasionally at the same time. We present our labors here - the best of things to do with kids, along with the information we suspect you'll find most useful in preparing for visits of your own.
