I am on spring break - which means that the cherry blossoms will be out soon, and also means that tourist season has officially started. If you are a tourist in DC, there are some guidelines you should know about:
Rule #1)- all the other tourists are already wearing polo shirts with american flags printed across, so you can leave yours at home.
Rule #2)- although you are on vacation, the rest of the world is still working - just try to keep that in mind when you are on the METRO.
Rule #3)- if you are from the south or mid west or, well - really anywhere other than a big city in the northeast - you probably think that escalators move so you don't have to. This is incorrect - escalators move so that you can get up them faster as you walk. If you see everyone standing to the right and walking to the left, you should follow their lead. DO NOT just stand to the left and laugh about it. Remember rule #2.
Rule #4)- leave your sunblock at home. There is nothing more amusing than riding home on the train at 5pm and seeing someone who is totally fried to a crisp from walking around on the mall all day. Once again, remember Rule #2.
