A "must have" for anyone visiting Washingon, D.C.

Washington, D.C. is the most unique city in the world. Whether you are visiting the area or live there, one cannot possibly know the wealth of information found in Washington, D.C. with Kids. I grew up in the area, but I have lived away for more than twenty years. Without this guide, I would have difficutly finding the places I want to see when I am back. I wish there had been such a book when my kids were younger. It's always such a challenge finding entertaining and worthwhile activities when on family trips. Imagine showing up in a city and having a resource that gives you a map, a subway map, addresses of places, times of operation, and even suggestions for meals! This book even indicates which venues are appropriate for various age groups. All of that and more is found in this superb volume. It's a "must have" for anyone planning a visit to Washington, D.C.

Washington With Worth

This book makes seeing Washington so easy and painless. The sights are grouped according to location, so you know what you can see together in a short amount of time. I discovered gems in Washington that I never knew existed! And just when the kids are getting cranky and hungry, there is a list of good places to eat. The directions by metro are very helpful and well done. I highly recommend this book to natives and visitors alike!

Washington DC With or Without Kids

This is a wonderful, extremely helpful book. Not only does it contain the pertinent, necessary information, but it has so much more. While it is geared toward traveling with children/students, the information is enlightening to adults also. I was amazed at the information I did not know, and all the wonderful trivia contained between its covers. Places I knew about but wasn't that anxious to see are now on my list of places to visit, along with those I learned of while reading this book.This is a guide that needs to be used in planning a trip, not just explaining what you are seeing while there. It will help to determine how to spend your time in the nation's capitol and to get the maximum amount of enjoyment and information for ALL age groups. I must also add that the authors' style of writing and their practical advice, along with a delightful sense of humor made this an extremely easy and enjoyable read.
