Washington DC
Washington, DC is the capital of the United States, and as such, it offers many points of interest of governmental and historical value.

One of the reasons Washington, DC is among the best destinations to visit with your family is because it is home to so many world-famous museums, including the Smithsonians – 16 museums scattered across the District, most of which are open every day of the week, and even better, every single one is free.
