We had a wonderful time there.  We walked 95% of the time.  A tour might have been nice, but we would have missed all the small statues.  Let me break down where we stayed so you can get an idea of how much walk that was.  The first thing we did was to get a hotel map of DC and circle all the ares we would like to see, kids too.  Then, I just planned the route from there.  We did not get to see everything we circled.  There is just so much to see!  I am huge in architecture and spend a good bit of time just studying each structure.
