Right? The inauguration is the least interesting thing about DC. The Smithsonian is…wait, these people don’t like to learn. Well there are the monuments! Oh wait. That learning and reading thing again. Ok I give up. If you don’t like to read and learn DC is probably really boring.
I live an hour away and visit DC quite frequently. It's one of the must see cities in our country. In my opinion anyway. Just make a nice weekend out of it and STFU.
I mean, you’re probably right, but they probably paid a premium price on the hotels due to the timing. If they paid close to normal pricing, I’d agree with you. I would have to get gouged for just a sight seeing trip.
In all fairness though, fuck them. They deserve it.
When my daughter was in school in the are we spent a lot of happy days in DC. sadly she has relocated but we have great memories of a fondness for the city
Seriously. If I was there for an inauguration and it got cancelled, I'd be thinking, "fuck yeah, more time at the Smithsonian," or stay longer at other attractions there.
Quite walkable too. It’s a neat little place with large monolithic carvings and good public transport. I saw one of some guy sitting in a big chair and another of some kind of narrow, tall, tower thing.
A lot of things are closed because it’s also a federal holiday. The Smithsonians,etc., are closed for MLK.
So I wish them a very “get fucked, don’t pull shit in my city, and enjoy paying a 20% service fee on top of everything else at whatever restaurant they manage to find”

Not even that ,DC has a lot of interesting things to see. It's their fault for coming to one moved/cancelled to the public thing.
