If you take the Old Town Trolley tour, they have pop quizzes, and the winner gets an "Executive Decision Maker" - a large coin to toss. It does the northern end of DC, including Embassy Row. Either one gives you a HUGE overview of our Capital City.
If they do Ford's Theatre, go right across the street to the Petersen House, where Lincoln actually died. It's free, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to see the pillow where his head rested. It really personalizes history!

That's the one that she's planning to do--the Old Town Trolley tour! She is working on getting the tickets now! I know that she's going to be taking my brother and all of the children--and yes--she wants to see Arlington National Cemetery. I will definetly tell her of the pop quizzes! She'll love it!
She does plan on going to the Petersen house as well!
Thanks both (DubaiSis/Honeychile) for all of your help.
