A trip to Washington without some history is not complete-- so head out to the Cedar Hill Home of famous abolitionist & author Frederick Douglas...
It is accessible by Metro (Anacostia station) and either walk or take a bus 3/4 of a mile to the park.
The Washington Masonic Memorial sits high above King Street in Alexandria and is open to the public during the day. Provides a sweeping view of Alexandria, if you can climb all the steps up.
The Potomac Riverboat Company offers several different river cruise options, if you want to see Washington from a different view.
And finally, George Washington's Mt. Vernon Estate and Gardens are just 8 miles south of Alexandria by car. It is a popular attraction; if you want to visit, book your tickets ahead of time.
