Tuesday – If we get the weather the forecast is promising, then get outdoors and seize the day! Who knows when we’ll have another day like it again? See this post about the best places in the DC area to enjoy a beautiful day outdoors with the kids for ideas.

The lights stay on and doors stay open during these performances for the youngest audiences. Showtime is 10am. Tickets are $5 for everyone, including babies. After the performance, plan to hang out at Glen Echo Park for some fun on the playground.
Thursday – Get a new view of DC and a little dose of history on a tour of The Old Post Office Tower.

Hours are 9am – 4:45pm, and admission is free.
