When you think of visiting DC, what do you think of? I would guess the monuments, museums, White House, Capitol Hill.

But here’s one site that’s a stone’s throw away, but gets very little attention.

I’m talking of the Library of Congress. In addition to being a  repository for hundreds of thousands of books,  the LOC is a gorgeous series of buildings that offers great tours, and is rarely ever crowded. I highly recommend it.

The next time you have a friend or family member in town, make sure to take them there.
