Flight of the Navigator

Planning a special trip can be difficult. I wanted to do something special for the wife this year and decided to take her to Washington DC.
This was mainly for one reason that I really got lucky one. Her favorite band is Placebo.
They never play in the United States and are almost exclusively in Europe.

Originally, I was planning on flying to Europe but there were too many obstacles to get over to make that happen.

Them being in Washington DC ended up being serendipitous as we have never been there before.

I plan to do all of the navigation and listing out places where we can go, letting the wife pick to her heart's content.
Offering my opinion when she is unsure and wants it.

Couple of places I saw that looked interesting before the big concert were the following:

1. The Smithsonian Museum
2. The Washington Memorial
3. The Lincoln Memorial
4. The White House
5. The National Mall
6. National Gallery of Art
7. Smithsonian's National Zoo (She saw it on the very first episode of Blacklist we rewatched… talk about good taste.)
8. Library of Congress
9. Ford's Theatre
10. Union market
11. National Portrait Gallery
12. Eastern Market
13. The Vietnam memorial
14. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier up in Arlington

No doubt we will not be able to see it all but I plan to do the best I can.
