DC is cool for all the free museums, but for a major city it kind of sucks. There are no skyscrapers, so you don't get that "big city" feel of being a tiny speck dwarfed by monstrous buildings. Also, there's not a whole lot of quirky, unique shops like you'd find in Philadelphia or New York (I could be leaving out Georgetown, but that's not accessible by the subway, so I've never been. 7 years living here, 1 1/2 working downtown, and I've never once driven my car into the city). The problem with DC is that it's mostly government, museums, and offices, and most everyone lives in Maryland or Virginia.
As for my own travel aspirations, I've never been further west than St. Louis/Minneapolis, although the west coast has never really called to me. I enjoy driving to places within a day or 2 of home, as opposed to flying somewhere. I'd like to go back to Canada at some point, and one of these days I'd like to make it to the UK.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
