Don't miss the chance to take a guided tour of The National Archives because our guide showed us all the highlights of the institution and the fascinating history behind the founding documents, and all the people who played a role in the story of our country. Our guide Richard Robertson was knowledgeable, and funny, and fun to learn from. He made our visit very memorable.

It stopped to soon, since there was so many stops you could not get off and spend time exploring, and then you had to wait along time to wait for another bus? We were not able to get off and see a lot of what we wanted to see
