Growing up, one of my favorite traditions as a kid was going to the movies. Because the movies were expensive (and it added up with every movie), going to the movies in the summer wasn't exactly my parents' favorite activity. However, for parents in Washington DC, summertime means free outdoor movies and even though the most popular one, Screening on the Green on the National Mall has (at this point) been canceled, there are plenty of other free outdoor movies that are playing if you are willing to look around. In particular, I'm excited about all the movies that will be playing in Crystal City this summer. They've decided that the theme for this year is superheroes, so for those with kids (and kids at heart) there will be everything from Superman to Batman to The Hulk and more.
