10 Places to visit the next time you complain "there's nothing to do" in the DMV

I’m from the DMV, and in the 15 years since I’ve moved, I’ve been back every other month— sometimes more. I’m always looking for new things to do, but a search of “what to do in DC” often turns up the old faithfuls— visit the Washington Monument or the Air & Space Museum, check out the Newseum, go see the National Cathedral., etc.

I wanted to get off the “beaten path” for my next trip (I’m headed to DC for New Year’s Eve) and explore what else DC has offer, places I’ve overlooked, never even heard of, or may be glossed over in your standard issue tourist guide.

I’ve added the following 10 places to my next itinerary for my next trip “home”:

The bail bondsman isn’t there when Margaret, the officer and I arrive at the jail. I heed my mother’s advice to take care of Margaret and plead with the officer not to put her behind bars, insisting (lying) that the bondsman is on his way. It doesn’t work. He tells Margaret to give me her jewelry.

I don’t know how I know to ask him if Margaret will be put in gen pop or solitary. Maybe criminal justice class? (I did want to be a lawyer for a while.)

My Mom calls me back as I’m following the police car with Margaret in it. The officer said the station was 10 minutes away and we’re driving straight down a two-lane road with no street lights. We should be there shortly.
