National Air and Space Museum
Free admission. The Wright Brothers' actual plane. The Apollo 11 command module. A flight simulator your kids will beg to ride three times. The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is the greatest free museum on the planet and it's sitting right off I-95 in Washington DC. The catch? Parking in DC is a full-contact sport. If you can handle the logistics, this stop is unforgettable. If you can't, wave at the Washington Monument from the highway.
