If you are a group of students who travel for educational purposes or an adult group traveling for leisure, consider including a local licensed guide in your trips budget. The knowledge that can provide guidance to the group while riding on a bus or walking along the travel is very valuable and can be as interesting. Photos of famous hot spots are found in magazines, postcards and movies while it is satisfying to see them in place with their own eyes that are little known facts that can make an educational and entertaining journey. When I was in Washington DC, our guide showed us the Watergate hotel and showed us where our President, Ronald Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt. I remember when I was that day and that caused the memory of when he was assassinated President John F. Kennedy. I remember that day well. If the tour guide said we are not in the direction of the Watergate hotel, my group would never have known, we thought it was just another building. I also remember the Watergate Hotel, whose relationship to the downfall of President Richard Nixon. Naturally, a history lesson can occur suddenly and knowledge can be imparted to students who demonstrate cause and effect and the consequences of actions. If your group is on tour in Washington DC on their own, how they know they can add a personal touch to each time the rubber tree growing across Ford's Theater, outside the Petersen House (Lincoln, where died). Nobody knows how long people (who are not allowed to chew gum inside the building) have been decorating the tree, but his group wants to help build it. If the adult group toured on his own, which will be the fountain of Temperance? In 1882 a local DC dentist designed and ordered from this source in the belief that easy access to cool drinking water is keep people from drinking. Later in the story longer, the source (dry, without water) sat across from a liquor store. Just a local tourist guide might share the irony of the source with you on your journey. If your group has moviegoers in on everything that they want a tour guide to take you to all the places movies have been filmed. Films like A Few Good Men, an American president, Forrest Gump, Contact, Wag the Dog, and thirteen days filmed in Washington, DC. Everyone in my office knows I'm a fan of Tom Cruise and not for the reasons you think. It reminds me of my eldest son, and above all is why I am a fan. If you watched Wag the Dog Robert Dinira, dont get discouraged, it was not a documentary. Imagine yourself standing in the footsteps of Michael Douglas in An American President or most importantly, imagine yourself standing in the footprints of the forty-three U.S. presidents who have served our country. That's just part of what Washington DC has to offer. Where and when ever you travel, be sure to do one thing, enjoy your trip. Vickie Dodson
