The government may be shut down, but D.C. has plenty going on. If you had plans to go to the Library of Congress, U.S. Botanic Garden or somewhere else that’s closed, check out these alternative options.
For anyone with a three-day weekend coming up, maybe it’s a great time for a day trip to see alpacas, fly through a “Wicked”-themed corn maze and pick pumpkins.
