What a great opportunity! I've always thought that would be fascinating...I'm probably a bit old for it now. My mother worked in civil service and, for a time, worked in the Pentagon. I have quite a number of photos and slides of early D.C. from that time period.
Have a great time!

I'd also suggest going to Mount Vernon (16 miles) and Monticello (125 miles). Both are outside of DC but well worth the drive. Do NOT try to make both of them in the same day. As I remember (from 45 years ago ) Monticello has so much to look at it will take you all day. And probably the same for Mount Vernon.

Congratulations on your internship. When I was in DC, I enjoyed walking along the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and seeing the old locks. The Potomac Falls are a little jaunt out of the city and are are nice too.

Have a great time! I'm sure it will be an amazing experience.

Be sure to go past all the war memorials. And I have always felt that every American should walk through Arlington Cemetery and reflect on what it means.

Congratulations, I rode my motorcycle to D.C. from Toronto once, took about 11-12 hours, I would say you should see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, The Lincoln and Washington Memorials, you should also get used to one way streets.
Congratulations again I now this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for for you and I wish you all the best.
