Rock Creek Po t o m ac R iver Watergate Hotel Complex Kennedy Center George Washington University Natural History Museum National Museum of American History White House 1/4 Power and promise—both are prominent themes in DC, where dark-suited diplomats are commonplace, and hope and conviction ring in every hall. You'll never feel more American than in the most influential city in the free world. It starts with a walk beneath the cherry blossoms that sprinkle the way to the Smithsonian's 15 free museums with pale pink each May. Continue down the National Mall to pay tribute to some of America's greats at the memorials that bear their names. Better yet, see some of their signatures on the Declaration of Independence, a treasure to rival the Gutenberg Bible, one of which is kept in the Library of Congress. The path to amazement doesn't end at the White House; the heart of the country beats life into every artery of its surrounding neighborhoods. Take Georgetown, for instance, where trendy boutiques, bars, and sidewalk dining line up neatly along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. From there, kayak the Potomac River, bike the 13- mile Capital Crescent Trail, or just let your pride to sink in. 80 | Washington, DC 3 2 1
