Washington D.C.: The Dream Destination

National Capitol Building

You may find many people asking, "If money weren't a problem where would you go?" and they'll probably tell you somewhere warm and tropical with a beach and a scenic view; But, I am not one of those people. I was always one of those kids who loved to watch history videos or documentaries in class, while all the other kids couldn't stand them. As far as I can remember I have always loved history and seeing artifacts from all types of periods. 

Being fortunate enough, I was able to visit Washington D.C. when I was thirteen years old, and let me tell you, 

I loved every single minute of the trip. So, you may find yourself asking, "Why write about somewhere you have already been?" and my answer to that is, Washington D.C. is so big and there is so much to do in a short period. I, unfortunately, didn't get to visit every site I wished I had. 

What To See In D.C.?

As mentioned previously, D.C. has very many sites, monuments, and museums you can visit. Let's start off with the possible museums we could visit, for free!

• National Gallary of Art
• National Air and Space Museums
• United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 
• National Museum of National History
• National Museum of American History

As I mentioned previously, All these museums are free of charge. The reason that all Smithsonian Museums and even their zoos are free is that "so you don't have to have any income level" to enjoy them -- Smithsonian Institution spokesperson Linda St. Thomas told the Hotsheet.[1]  For this reasoning, it makes me want to travel to Washington D.C. even more. I understand this assignment is about money not being an issue, but I would much rather visit a place or city where everyone can experience all these amazing artifacts and relics, free of charge. 

There's More? 

Mentioning a few of the amazing museums you could see on your visit, let us move on to the eye-opening, spectacular monuments. Washington D.C. is home to more than 160 monuments, memorials, and Statues, but we are only going to mention a few of our favorite ones that we would like to see the most. 

Washington Monument

• Lincoln Memorial
• Washington Monument
• World War II Memorial
• Vietnam Veterans Memorial
• Jefferson Memorial

With having so many sites to see and visit and money not being an issue. Words wouldn't be able to describe how excited I would, because I would then be able to take all the time I need to see all 160 plus monuments, memorials, and Statues. History is one of my favorite subjects and this would truly be a dream destination for me. 

Now that you know my dream destination, the things I would do and see, if money weren't an issue. Where would you go? What places would you see and explore? Let us know in our comment section!
