    Introducing a brand new Fandex(R) idea: the travel guide, perfect for families planning a trip and a great souvenir or gift to bring back home. A natural marriage of format and subject, each guide combines unique, individually die-cut cards with full-color photographs and illustrations and a lively, fact-filled text.
    Launching the travel guides is "Washington, D.C.," one of the most visited, family-friendly destinations in the U.S. "Washington, D.C." is a colorful, history- and fact-packed tour of the nation's capital. Visit Union Station, rescued from decrepitude and now Washington's most frequented destination. The ingeniously designed Pentagon--the world's largest office building, yet no two points are farther apart than a seven-minute walk. Plus Georgetown, the Capitol, the intrigue of Embassy Row, and what really goes on inside the Naval Observatory.
