[MR] RE stuff to do

[Sharpe, Angela]

The Smithsonian Castle is very, very cool, absolutely beautiful inside and outside. It is the main admin building and can easily be found as it stands out in Washington DC from the other buildings. Open daily until 1700. There's a restaurant, exhibits, maps, etc in that building. If you go to DC ever, that'd be a great place to visit. You can park along the Potomac and walk a few blocks over then continue on to all the other Smithsonian Museums... there's like 19 of them

Enjoy!

The castle is the original Smithsonian building and it houses the
museum of technology and industry.  I haven't been inside it in years,
and I'm not sure what it's status is since there are signs on the mall
saying it's closed for renovation and yet it looks open and there are
apparently tours scheduled inside it according to the website.
