- Washington D.C.
The symbol of democracy and freedom, Washington D.C. is the place to go to feel some pride for your country. Museums, monuments, and memorials galore, D.C. is representative of every era in American history, from independence to modern day. Not only is it a groundbreaking historical city, but also a place to discover the inner workings of our government. Take a tour of the Capitol Building or visit the White House for a sneak peak into our country’s legislative and judicial branch. Even just a day in Washington could turn you into a patriotic pro like no other.
