An itinerary of possible sites include:

The Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts – The best place in Washington, DC to enjoy the sunset, and though you may not think you've come for sunset views, why not enjoy it at living memorial for John F. Kennedy? This IS JFK's monument and the foyer, the longest such public hall in the world, lined in dozens of glass chandeliers, reminds us of the glamour of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The rooftop perimeter, lined in marble, is long and wide enough to land a little plane; to come upon it in the setting sunlight is breathtaking, enjoying from here views of the Potomac River, Georgetown and the National Mall.
The Washington Monument - From here, where there's always a beautiful cross breeze, and 50 American flags flap wildly, you can see the sun go down on axis over the Lincoln Memorial. The last glimmers of sunlight should be enjoyed here!
World War II Memorial - From the Washington, we like to start what must be the most elegant promenade in the nation: to the World War II Memorial below and along the Reflecting Pool to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. This happens just as all the lights in the fountains that creat the World War II's magic start to come on.
Lincoln Memorial – Without doubt, "the Lincoln" is the District's most popular site and looming before us on this walk, you'll have no doubt why.
Korean War Memorial - This site, though more somber than most, enchants with its illuminated soldiers moving in formation, with the haunting gaze of their comrades sandblasted onto a reflecting wall of granite, and the newly added Memory Wall and ring of trees, recognizing all the Americans who died in battle and their Korean comrades who fell while wearing American uniform.
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial – Experience the powerful dream of the MLK Memorial at night, as the towering statue emerges in the soft glow of its lights, creating an unforgettable moment. Especially at night, one feels the desire of the monument's designers to place you in MLK's dream and vision for peace.
Capitol Hill – We take you to the overlooked, sweeping and majestic "front" side of the Capitol, which faces the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. A walk around this lighted plaza, which you're most likely to have to yourselves, inspires awe in what we've achieved together as Americans.
