I made a short stop through the National Postal Museum in DC today. Most people probably don't realize such a museum even exists, but it's actually worth a look. We all take for granted the mail delivery service we get through USPS, but after seeing the museum, I developed some new found respect for these people. If you think about it, these people deliver our mails to all corners of our country, rain or shine. Videos in the museum gives you some interesting history on the development of our postal system. If you're into stamp collecting, they have a pretty massive collection of them available for viewing. There are also some other interactive exhibits that may be fun to try.
The museum is located right next to Union Station. Also next to the museum is Capitol City Brewing Company, which is a good place to get beer and grub if you're sick of the museum cafes. Their chili was pretty good.
Now I know you don't drink beer, so how do you know it's a good place to get a beer? :p
