A few thoughts from my DC visit:
Spy Museum: love the stuff in it, wish pictures could be taken, the layout as you get closer to the end is atrocious.
American History: amused at seeing Ric Flair’s robe and boots, they need more stuff—just not enough pop culture items! Loved seeing Minnie Pearl’s hat as she’s an idol of mine—even met her in person once. Was expecting more.
Mall: work on that landscaping! Awful! Was nice seeing everything in person though.
Food: lots of yummy. I want another one of those habanero infused tequila drinks from Fruit Bat. I had some awesome/spicy penne arrabiata as well.
Allergies: bite the big one.
Friends: loved seeing them. Really wish we were all closer to each other.
