Truthfully, no. We were staying in Laural,MD and had only a short drive to a Metro station but the trains were extremely crowded and we left for DC the day of the Cherry Blossom parade at about 7:30 am. The crush and the wait to get on the train was worse in DC itself. Then at the end of the day, we left around 5 pm...the station near the Washington Monument was a mob scene. As long as it doesn't rain, I would go into DC the day before or the day after if I had it to do over again...the blossoms will be just as pretty and all those people will be gone...but it is beautiful. I love DC...be sure to go to the Newseum...it was wonderful. They have a very moving 9-11 memorial, an entire wall of newspaper front pages from 9-12 and part of one of the towers is there. They have a real guard station from the Berlin wall and part of the wall itself with all the graffiti on it. Also a great gallery of news photos. It was nice, about 20 bucks to get in but I thought worth it.
Have fun and please we want details!!! OH...and don't forget the National Art museum...the Matisse room will make you feel so happy!
