Skip over DC if you ever get the urge. Outside of the history it's a shithole with a couple of very small pockets of nice. |

DC is a total shithole, but the history is hard to turn down. I could probably spend a week there just figuring out the museums I REALLY want to dedicate some time to.

The main thing I miss about DC is the water. Atlanta has no open water except Lake Lanier which is a shitty ass manmade lake full of a bunch of rednecks who fish with boats that do 80mph and families who try and ski with pontoons that do 10mph. I've always liked the idea that in DC you could hop on a boat and go anywhere in the world you wanted.

The important thing is that you got one thing right. Don't visit michigan.

I hear what you are saying about the water as well. I would move away from it, but I wouldn't like it at all. |

exactly DC sucks on the outer portions, but the history and places are amazing. I wouldn't skip the time I spent there for a second. I would go back again, I loved the history and government section of DC.

That's exactly why I want to go there. I think it would be great for my kids.

Not to sound too Clark Griswold, but if you do make the trip do a bit of planning in advance. There are so many things to see in such a small area if you try to wing it you could easily miss the things you think your kids will really enjoy.
