Comment by David Paul Appell on November 2, 2012 at 1:31pm: It had been a while since my last visit to DC, but I was there again just last week - great to be back! And I've seen almost everything worth seeing, with several exceptions including the International Spy Museum. So off I went - and it was indeed a way cool experience! So much fascinating stuff; one of the things I was most hoping to see was info on the murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov in London with a poison-tipped umbrella. And sure enough, there was the umbrella - well, not THE umbrella, but a replica. Some of it was a little 'Hollywood,' but hey, I don't begrudge them that. Overall, highly recommended!!

Comment by Bed & Breakfast of VA on March 7, 2012 at 1:49pm: Hi, everyone! If you are looking for an educational getaway, consider staying at one of the many Virginia bed and breakfasts that located near some excellent museums. Virginia is a state rich in history, and that history is commemorated with such a huge variety of museums.
