After doing all the research and getting many opinions about how to get to and maneuver in DC it looked like do not drive, parking does not exist, take the Metro and DO NOT go on a holiday.
So Labor Day of course we drove!!
Had a nice breakfast then did a easy drive hitting a few caches on the way.
Pulled into DC and quickly found a parking spot on the tidal basin next to the FDR Monument. We walked around form there visiting many monuments. Washington, WWII, FDR, Korean War, Lincoln Memorial and around the reflecting pool. Stood in the place where King gave his "I have a Dream" speech for the 13th time. Loved the visit.
Then on to Arlington National Cemetery. JFK's Jackie O, and Robert Kennedys grave. Audie Murphy, Joe Louis and the tomb of the unknowns. Got to see the changing of the guard. That was special.
No problems with crowds and parking was great.
Then we had dinner and drove home.
We plan on going back to DC Thursday, maybe George will have time for us then.
