DC Bucket List

So I have been in DC nearly full time for seven months now.

I really am not at all a list maker, but I figure that it is about time to make a list of things I want to do while I am here so that I don't get to the end of my time and wonder why I have not done this or that. I expect that this list will be dynamic--at least I hope so. I am curious what has been on other people's lists that you forgot of missed out on. Or what you have seen and loved and should not be missed.
