Loving Glen Echo Park

There are so many free and educational events in the DC area that it would take me hours to list all the cool ones, but some thing fun and easy to do is to visit the Smithsonians on the Mall or one of the smaller less-touristy one of the sites ran by the National Park Service, one of particular interest is Maryland's Glen Echo Park. It is a fabulous, old-style amusement park with a working carousel. It is really like taking a slice of good-ole fashion apple-pie and a slice of cheddar cheese on it. http://www.nps.gov/glec/
