    Congratulations on your internship. When I was in DC, I enjoyed walking along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and seeing the old locks. The Potomac Falls are a little jaunt out of the city and are are nice too.

    Have a great time! I'm sure it will be an amazing experience.

    Be sure to go past all the war memorials. And I have always felt that every American should walk through Arlington Cemetery and reflect on what it means.

    Congratulations, I rode my motorcycle to D.C. from Toronto once, took about 11-12 hours, I would say you should see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, The Lincoln and Washington Memorials, you should also get used to one way streets.

    Congratulations again I now this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for for you and I wish you all the best.

    Congratulations. What a wonderful opportunity. When do you begin? We'll be in D.C. visiting our daughter the beginning of May.

    Try to get over to Alexandria, Va. There's lots of Scottish heritage there, as the threads here will confirm. The "Old Towne" section is really charming, and it's pretty easy to get to from D.C.

    I see that your senator has Scottish ancestry. Will you be wearing your kilt in the Capital? I see a Kilted Kapital headline in that.

    If a meet is organized, please post it here. I've been looking for an excuse to get down there.

    I'm sure the Senator has already thought of this, but try to get a tour of the White House. Good on ya!
