Thread: Things to see in Washington D.C.?

I live next door to the firearms museum and still haven't gone. JL, you'd probably like that. If you want we might be able to go together as the Metro will only take you as far as Vienna. The Metro would be my choice to visit D.C. as well.

Take Yellow line and transer to Orange, get off at Fed Triangle I'd say.

I would personally avoid the buses whenever possible and be careful if your walking alone at night . . . don't bring any firearms with you.

The key to understanding the Metro is to get on the line you want and get on the train that is heading in the correct direction. Direction is described by the last stop on that line. So to go from Crystal City to Smithsonian you'd go Yellow/Gallery Pl. Chinatown, then transfer to Orange/Vienna and get off at Smithsonian. So Color equals rail line and the last stop on that rail is the direction your going. Makes sense?

BTW, there is NO eating on the Metro and it is strictly enforced.
