OT: What to see in Washington DC over 24 hours

If you're going to be there on Monday, there's the small matter of the Presidential Inauguration on Martin Luther King Jnr Day.

Having been there for the last one, I'd say it's definately worth a look-see.

I used to live in DC - the thing we'd always do and seemed to impress visitors the most was to go to the various monuments/memorials after the sun went down. They are fabulously maintained, and beautifully lit in the evening time. The lighting at night really provides a very moving experience for most.

Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam, WWII (my least favorite, but it's right there with a bunch of others so worth doing), iwo jima, arlington cemetary, haven't seen the new MLK but given your timing.
