Dear Tourists

Welcome to the District of Columbia – the nation’s capital, the city of monuments, the people’s city.

• Don’t miss the waterslide down from the top of the Washington Monument. Well worth the extra $3.50.
• After visiting the Treasury building, they give out samples just like the Hershey’s tour. Let the kids keep the $1s and $5s; go for the big bills.
• Few people know that George Bush plays checkers against all comers in Lafayette Park during lunch on Fridays. Wagering is not allowed.
• If you whisper a secret into Abe’s ear at the Lincoln Memorial, it will come true.
