Planning a long weekend in DC with my wife and 2 year old. Thinking Residence Inn DuPont circle for space and location. Any family friendly recs in the area (breakfast/lunch spots, fun activities)?

Posting as :

You are currently posting as works at

To do:
Spy Museum (interesting for adults, kids can do stuff like crawl though “air ducts”)
Building museum (similar reasoning)
Natural History museum (similar reasoning)
Alexandria Waterfront (gorgeous, kid friendly, good lunch spots, metro accessible)
National Zoo
National Cathedral (feels like you’re in the middle of Europe; plenty of space for kids to run around)

Food:
Ted’s Bulletin (think 1920’s formal diner, brunch, amazing pastries, kid friendly)
Kramer’s Books and More (breakfast, in Dupont)
District Taco (Dupont)
Mintwood Place (Adams Morgan, nice restaurant)

I'm nearing the end of an interview for process for a job I'm meh on and recently began the process for my dream job. I'm slightly underqualified for the dream job but it's at a startup in a category I'm extremely passionate for. Should I let them know I'm nearing the end at another place?

I'm unemployed so I don't want to lose out on a job but would really like to hold out for the dream job.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
