With the upcoming December 21 release of Disney Pictures’ latest movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets starring Nicolas Cage, the DC tourism bureau has launched a Trails to Treasure Tour campaign that is supposed to inspire folks to follow along and try and solve the clues and win a trip to the nation’s capital for two people. The clues are all around and you can pick up a map and brochure to find out the clues or you can go online to www.TrailsToTreasure.com and look at them there. There’s so much more that apparently will be on that site…it seems that they’re even thinking about a podcast and trying to make it more interactive. It would be interesting to see how many folks decide to participate in this whole promotion and I know that Disney is definitely trying to make it as big if not bigger than the first movie. Oh, and there are hotel packages available for like $109/night.

A new group has been created on Facebook and is open to anyone who’s a fan of the nation’s capital. Check it out for yourself by going to the Washington, DC fan page. You’ll need to be a member of Facebook, but don’t worry, it’s a good thing as you’ll meet up with other DC enthusiasts just like yourself and can post photos, ask questions, or watch some good videos of the city and people’s experience.
