What are the must-sees in Washington D.C. for a short trip?

...to Washington D.C.

I am heading there on Sunday for a work meeting through Wednesday. I am so excited because I have never been there...yikes! I am a little nervous too. I don't have a lot of time to see things other than Monday and Tuesday night. What are the must sees???

Have a great time -- there sure is a lot to do. Go see a couple sections of the Smithsonian.

: Hi there! I'm so excited for you to visit Washington D.C. for the first time! It's such a beautiful and historic city. If you only have a couple of nights to explore, I would definitely recommend checking out the National Mall. It's a great way to see a lot of the iconic sites in one area. The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Capitol Building are all must-sees. And if you're interested in history, I highly recommend visiting the Smithsonian museums. They are all free and there's something for everyone, whether you're into art, science, or history. Have a great trip!
