My favorite museum was the Air and Space Museum, but it took me two days to go through. Worth it, thoughI also quite enjoyed the Supreme Court tour (and you can also hear oral arguments depending on when you go, which is really cool).

The Holocaust Museum is excellent, but I'd say do that on a day you aren't planning anything else because it really takes a lot out of you.

Don't do the American History museum unless you're interested in pop culture history and First Lady clothes(and even then it is still small and disappointing museum compared to the other Smithsonian ones).

Food-wise, you should totally check out the food carts. There are some amazing ones. Here's the page that has the schedule of what trucks will be where when: http://foodtruckfiesta.com/dc-food-trucks/

+1ing the Air and Space museum, I've never had so much fun in my life

It is really awesome. Although I spent way too much money there between the different shows and then the gift shop. Easily the thing I spent most on entertainment-wise the summer I lived there.

I've only been to DC once, last summer, and the Air and Space museum was the first thing we did. I almost fainted when I saw the Spirit of Saint Louis--and then again when I got to see all the stuff that was on the moon. If I lived in DC I'd be there every other day.

I really wanted to spend more time in there, but I was working full time so I only had weekends. So I limited myself to two days.

Fair, fair. I'm dying to get back to DC! Where were you working, if I may ask?

I was interning at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. It was two years ago. My law school we alternated quarters in the 2nd and 3rd year between classes and work. My third internship was in DC.

That's so cool!!

Yeah, we are only doing one museum a day! The bad news is that we have to do the Holocaust Museum early in the vacation because we wanted to get tickets early. So hopefully it won't make us too down.

Yeah, a lot of people said that about the American History museum!

I'd suggest looking at the museum websites and then planning which exhibits you want to do then. You won't be able to do everything in a day for most of them, but you can pick the ones that look most interesting.

I think early in the vacation for the Holocaust Museum is fine. I just had originally planned on doing that and something else the same day, but I had to go back to my apartment because it took a lot out of me. It is really emotionally draining.

Also, don't eat in the museums if you can avoid it because you will spend a lot on food there. Some of them have fast food things outside, and there are usually food trucks around.

Yeah, thanks for that site to food trucks! I expect that will come in handy.

The summer I worked there, there was a spot just down the street from my job where a bunch of them would go. I spent so much money on food truck food. It was bad. I particularly recommend the pho trucks and the pie truck.

There was also a crape place just down the street. I was kind of struggling for money for a few months after that because of how much I spent on food.

Oh, one more piece of advice. If you are doing public transportation (and I'd say do because parking is a pain), plan when you are taking it as much as possible. There is no set price. You pay based on how far you travel as well as the time of day. It costs more at peak times.

Yeah, I was estimating costs when I noticed that the museum had closed. >.< So now I gotta wait to do it again when we rearrange our schedule.

Which museum closed?

Crime Museum. Some privately owned thing that we were going to squeeze in on a day when we were nearby.

Yesssss the food trucks. They are a big part of why I could never move out of DC.
