Enjoy the Capital City on Federal Holidays

First of all, for the most part, you'll be off work already, so why not take an extended weekend trip on any of our nation's federal holidays, including Memorial Day, Labor Day, President's Day...you get the idea! Often, depending on the holiday, the city will be less busy and its myriad attractions will be yours for the seeing.
