Definitely the tourmobile! I did that on one of my first trips to DC, and it was so handy to hop on and off throughout the day at all the famous stops. If you miss the bus, you can hop on any other one that stops by next.

We will be there over the 4th of July (3-5) and then up to NY for the 6th... and then straight through back to MO with my hubby and I alternating the driving.

You crazy kid. :lol: But I can think of no better experience than being in the Nation's Capitol on the Fourth of July. :)

I've heard Founding Farmers is a must. Also try Urban Daddy. They send out lots of great suggestions. I think we've decided to see John Caperello at the DC Improv this weekend. We'll probably stay downtown because we have some free Marriott nights we need to use or lose. I'll let you know if I have anything to add after that.

Yes to Founding Farmers! It's delish!!! One of our faves in DC.

Ted's Bulletin is also good.

All these helpful tips!! Im quite confident in my ability to plan this now! :)

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Friends of my wifes aunt just in the past few days did the tourmobile in DC and they really enjoyed it!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

As well you could sign up for Groupon, livingsocial, and there is a few others(not enough coffee yet this morning)!! They email you out a "deal" each day. Some are quite good, some are so-so! Most of the deals center around entertainment/food, personal health, body image, massages, etc etc! Many of these types of services are for all over the USA, canada and Europe. You can set it up to check various cities (or just look manually) so each day you get a deal for the selected cities! We use it a lot for around our home area, gets us out to try new things we may not have done. Enjoy
