Washington nationals baseball stadium

The Nationals home opener is this afternoon and the crowds are sure to be out in full force as president Obama is scheduled to throw out the first pitch. The Nationals’ web site has a great interactive map to help you get to the stadium with as few headaches as possible. The map shows parking options and nearby Metro stations, and if you’re already in town, you can view bike, bus, and walking routes.

Elvis exhibit in Washington, DC

Elvis Presley is an entertainment phenomenon. Since his death in 1977, countless depictions of him have been created.

His image is more recognizable now than it was at the pinnacle of his career, and arguably, the face of Elvis is one of the most recognizable human images in history.

The National Portrait Gallery has collected the best images and put them on display in their “Echoes of Elvis” exhibit.

The exhibit runs from January 8 to August 29, 2010. Admission is free.
