MY CAPITAL TIME:
A yearly column about my trips to Washington, DC
⤓  2008

(1) The Supreme Court of the United States--Inside this Neoclassical building, you can learn about the history and purpose of the third branch of the US government.

(2) The Hirshhorn Museum--Although this may not be the first Smithsonian museum that most people visit, once they see the modern art inside, their opinions range from "interesting" to "bizarre."

(3) The Naval Heritage Center--While it's not the first attraction on most people's "places-to-see" list, this center offers a look at the history of the US Navy and explains its function in today's world.

(4) The Decatur House--Once again, it's not a major attraction. But after looking at the outside of the nearby White House, it's worth a visit here to see how some people lived in the US Capital in the early 19th century.

Closer to Home

 

DOTTY’S DIMENSIONS: CLOSER TO HOME
(or within 150 miles from where I live)

Because most of my travels have been within 150 miles from home,
and I’ve received more than a few letters and e-mails asking about my favorite local attractions,
I wrote this supplement guide.
Most of the places that I’ve listed are in New York City, especially Manhattan,
and a sizeable number are in Philadelphia, especially Central Philly.
In addition, I have a few places listed in Washington, DC,
as well as a listing for New Jersey in this 16-page publication.
