Description
Explore our nation's capital from a whole new perspective without the cost of a cross-country road trip!
From national parks and state parks to interesting monuments and museums, Washington DC is full of interesting places to explore. Come along on an adventure where you'll learn more about the city's symbols, meet some interesting people born here, explore unique celebrations, and laugh at wacky laws set long ago. Who knew the number of accordion players is restricted in Washington DC?
But it's not all about information in this adventure (although everything you need to teach the material is found in the PDF). Inside you'll find activities to do, videos to watch, recipes to try, crafts to create, and recommended books to read to help you learn about Washington DC in the most hands-on way possible.
