[blindkid] Washington DC for 9yo

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Tene:

     The Smithsonian is a great place to visit. There are hands-on things to 
look at, but you must arrange for this  ahead of time. There are also tours 
of the Capitol for the blind and these too must be arranged in advance. I 
don't recall where you are from, but be prepared for very cold weather 
including snow and ice. Have a good trip.

Regards,

Robert

Hello All,

Need tips on how to make DC (during inauguration) a pleasant trip for Na'im 
( 9yo with ONA/light perception only). We will be doing tours, parade, and 
hopefully sitting on the mall listening to the inauguration. Any suggestions 
besides plenty of Tylenol or Motrin?

Tene
