I'm going to be in DC for a three days and NYC for approx two weeks in mid-to-late March through early April, and was hoping for some assistance with a couple of questions:
1) The absolute top-of-my-list of things to do in DC is to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in the National Mall - I always enjoy science museums and am fascinated by most things science and technology-related - particularly aviation and space flight! What I can't decide though, is whether it's worth my while also visiting the Udvar-Hazy Center near IAD. Doing both would essentially take up two out of the three days I have in DC, and given I've never been there before there are plenty of other things I could see and do with some of that time.
Those that have been there before, and been to either/both of the Air and Space Museum locations, what do you think?
2) This is perhaps a bit of a strange question, but any suggestions as to what sort of clothing I'll need for DC/NYC in the second half of March / first half of April? I ask because I've literally never spent any time in a true "cold weather climate" other than when skiing - and in those cases I've been wearing ski gear or inside 99% of the time. Would typical mid-winter-in-Melbourne attire be warm enough? Or do I need more?
Thanks!
