Where do I live again?

So I've lived in the Maryland-DC area for all but 2 years of my life, and I've come to realize that I've seen very little of what there is to see around here.  I've been lucky enough to live in the middle of so much history with Annapolis (the original US capital), Baltimore (one of the first major ports in the US), and DC (the current US capital), and I've seen so little of it all! There's so much history and tradition and I'm missing out on it.

Now, one thing about living in this area is that in grade school, we took field trips to cities.  That's all we did.  Field trip?  Going to Baltimore.  Field trip? Going to DC.  I've seen just about every museum and every zoo in the area (apart from the National Spy Museum...I want to go there so badly!).

So I guess that as I was growing up I felt that I was experiencing all there was to see, but now I realize how much more there is. And so, I've made a list of the major things that I want to do in this area before I inevitably leave.

Washington D.C.

1) Visit the monuments.  I've never seen the Lincoln Monument! Or gotten all that close to the Washington Monument! I want to take a day-trip to DC and just wander through all of the monuments.  I feel like that's something that everyone should experience.
2) Historic Georgetown.  I've been here once, but it was on a shopping trip with my mom and aunt, so I didn't really get to see and experience much. 
3) Kennedy Center.  I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! Pretty much, I really need to see this place! Grwadagvepetwhwg.
4) Mount Vernon.  I'm not gonna lie...part of why I want to go here is so that I can pretend that I'm investigating long-forgotten tunnels with the President and Nicholas Cage...
5) White House.  Yeah...I've seen it (of course), but I've never done a tour, and I've always wanted to.  Unfortunately, they only let you see 8 of the 132 or so rooms in the place, but it still seems like one of those experiences that's done more for the meaning that for the sights.  I respect and feel complete awe for our government and those who control it.
6) Library of Congress.  I just want to go here to get some pictures...it's lame, I know.  I want to just see all of those books...and then I'll be done.  Trivia:  Did you know that if something were to happen to the current Library of Congress, McKeldin Library on the University of Maryland campus would become the next one? How cool is that?!
7) Cherry Blossom Festival. Once again, I am in despair.  I've never been to the Cherry Blossom Festival...which is just sad. 

Baltimore:

1) M&T Bank Stadium.  Yeah.  I've never been to the home of my favorite sports team.  It's sad. go Ravens!
2) Camden Yards.  Kind of like M&T Bank Stadium, I want to see the home of my baseball team! Yes, the Orioles kind of fail right now, but they're still my team :)
3) Maryland Science Center.  I've been here a bunch...but not since like 5th grade.  So I want to go back and see how things have changed and be able to really experience everything.

4) Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.  I've seen them a few times, but only ever on a trip with one of my orchestras.  I'd like to be able to choose a show and just go watch/listen to it.  I enjoy things like that.

Other MD:
1) Antietam National Park.  Yes, Maryland is home to the land on which the bloodiest and most deadly battle of the Civil War was fought.  I would like to go there and see what there is to see, as well as pay my respects to those who fell.

Going along with Antietam, I want to see all of the national parks in MD, as well as in other states.  I don't think that people realize how important and beautiful these parks are, and I intend to see as many of them as I can in my lifetime.





So that's my plan for now.  There's a lot more that I want to see, but these are the major ones.  What about you guys?  Any tourism plans?
