For a high-flying afternoon with the whole family, head out to the National Air and Space Museum. Part of the Smithsonian group of museums, this venue presents several life-size exhibits and attractions that only make them all the more dramatic. This is the Smithsonian's most visited museum largely due to the dozens of aircraft that are on display that include Lindbergh's aircraft to the Wright Brothers' Flyer and lots more.
Anacostia Park was once called Uniontown, where freed slaves settled and began a new life. If your life is in need of a little time away from it all, then Anacostia Park is the perfect destination. Come and enjoy such great outdoor activities as basketball, tennis, hiking, boating, or even a round of golf. There are picnic tables and concession stands available for you to plan the perfect day out.
