If you are planning a trip to DC then the Washingtonian Welcome Guide is a must read. The magazine is full of tips on what to see, where to eat and where to shop. With hints from the locals throughout, even I learned some new things. Skip to page 14 for 8 itineraries, 3 of them focus specifically on spending the day in DC with kids.

If you have an ipad then be sure to download this version for easy reading.
