Before you go to D.C. while the kids are out of school check this list of closures…

We love taking the kids to D.C. and it would be a great time to go up there had the COVID-19 not happened. But in case you still have a wild hair and want to go see museums over the next two weeks of no-school in Virigina…think again….and please check this list. Many things are closed. Some below have reopen dates and some don’t have reopen dates yet so keep checking back.
