"I have been to Washington, D.C., many times since my first visit in 1977. I was most recently there just this summer. We have done episodes on Washington, D.C., on Amateur Traveler, and I feel like it's a city that I know. So I will admit that I was a bit surprised how much I learned about the city before even getting to page 15 of the The Unofficial Guide to Washington, D.C.... If you want an insiders guide to the District of Columbia, check out The Unofficial Guide to Washington, D.C."
