[quote=spdrun]DC can’t really be appreciated unless you walk around. Fly into National next time, take the train in (about 10 min) and walk around the Mall and Southeast, then go to Georgetown and up along CT and WI Avenues….[/quote]
I have walked up and down the Capitol Mall and toured the Smithsonian and saw all the attractions a couple of times, including walking across the bridge to Arlington Cemetery.
I’ve also been there on “spring break” to the “Cherry Blossom Festival” where we were lucky enough to find street parking. It is was very beautiful!
I wanted to get off the tour bus at the south end of Georgetown, but we didn’t have time to catch another one that day.
A walking tour of Georgetown (and possibly Chevy Chase) is also on my “bucket list” 🙂
