I have not been there for years, but I want to take the kid this summer. Is there anything else in the area worth checking out?

Driving on the Beltway around DC has the same effect on me?

I haven't been down to the National Mall in a long time either. How far out 66 should I catch the train?

by train you mean the metro? if so, not sure which line orange, blue/yellow, is nearest you, but you just need to get to smithsonian and your good. i think an all day tickets like six bucks.

Yup, the metro. I normally head north on 81 and east on 66 toward DC. I can come up 29 and catch 66 at Warrenton, but the traffic on 29 makes it slower.

how you drive in that state i'll never know. traffic sucks everywhere. i've been down 66 a few times recently, i will do everything in my power to avoid that highway!

You have to realize NOVA is not VA. I live about 3 hours south west of DC in the real VA. A traffic jam here is being behind a school bus following a farm tractor up to the next field.

true true. MD is kinda like that in some places.

well have fun on that dreadful trip up 66 and enjoy DC or Aberdeen
