About the Author Beth Rubin moved to Washington, D.C., as a student — before there was a Kennedy Center, Watergate, or Metrorail. Since then she has survived 10 presidential administrations while escorting her two kids, numerous relatives and friends, and the occasional alien around Washington. While enduring Potomac Fever and D.C. traffic for close to 40 years, Beth has come to know the nation's capital intimately, warts and all. In the early '90s she parlayed her knowledge of the city into Frommer's Washington, D.C. With Kids, now in its 5th edition. Beth's features, on a variety of subjects, have appeared in Frommer's Dollarwise Traveler; the Washington Post; Roll Call, Ski Resort, and Washington Dance View magazines; and numerous other Washington, D.C. area publications. She thinks her marriage to Washington, D.C. For Dummies is a match made in heaven. If the book is a hit, she's thinking about buying the Washington Monument and turning it into an all-night delicatessen. When not chasing her mouse, Beth can be found roaming the District with paper and pen in hand. She lives in Annapolis, Maryland, 35 miles by motorcade from the White House.

As a concierge at one of D.C.'s finest hotels, I was shocked and humbled by the wealth of knowledge in this book that I should have already known, but didn't. While there have been some minor changes in regards to some restaurants and hotels, the book was remarkably accurate with its information. I have two copies; one at home for visiting friends and one at my desk for quick reference. Anyone working in the travel industry should keep this nearby for an essential job tool.

Washington D.C. for Dummies has repeatedly proven to be the unsurpassable reference guide for planning my first visit to our Nation's Capital. This book is packed with information about the city, the do's and don't's of the city, maps, tips for adults, kid friendly places, and how to make the most of your time and money in the Capital. I mostly enjoyed having an abundance of web site addresses at my fingertips for more information if needed. This book is a "must have" for anyone who wants to preplan an exciting, economic and fun trip to Washington D.C.
