About the Author

Tom Price has lived in and written about Washington, D.C., for more

than two decades. As a journalist who focuses on government and poli-

tics, he knows the ins and outs of official Washington. As the parent of

a college-age Washington native, he’s discovered the best Washington

places for kids of all ages. As a longtime D.C. resident, he’s found fun

and interesting Washington experiences for adults of all ages as well,

having repeatedly explored the city with his family and visiting friends.

From late 1982 through 1995, Tom was a correspondent in the Cox

Newspapers Washington Bureau. Since then, he has been a freelance

writer whose work has appeared in books, magazines, and newspapers

and on Internet sites. With his wife, Susan Crites Price, Tom is coauthor

of The Working Parents Help Book: Practical Advice for Dealing with the

Day-to-Day Challenges of Kids and Careers, which won a Parents’ Choice

Award, was a Scholastic Book Club selection, and has been featured

by “Today,” “Oprah,” and other broadcast and print media. His most

recent book, written with former U.S. representative and ambassador

Tony Hall, is Changing the Face of Hunger: One Man’s Story of How

Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats, Republicans and People of Faith Are

Joining Forces to Help the Poor, the Hungry and the Oppressed . Tom also is

author of Frommer’s Irreverent Guide to Washington . Previously, Tom, a

Pittsburgh native, reported for newspapers in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Dedication

For Susan and Julie, who make me happy and proud.

Author’s Acknowledgments

First, I want to thank Elise Ford, an accomplished travel writer who

brought me to Frommer’s in the first place and has provided invaluable

guidance ever since. I also want to thank my mother, Anna Mae Price;

my daughter, Julie, who continually helps me learn new things about

Washington; and, of course, Susan, who is always my most important

collaborator.
