Um... is there a reason you can't leave your car at the airport and take the Metro from Reagan? (There is a Metro stop literally right at the airport.) Reagan's Metro stop is for both the Blue and the Yellow Lines. To get to the Smithsonian Metro, you can either ride the Blue around, through Arlington Cemetery (which is cool) OR take the Yellow and transfer to the Blue at L'Enfant Plaza. The Blue line only is 11 stops, but pretty when above ground... the Yellow to the Blue is only 4 stops on the Yellow and 1 on the Blue.

That's not a bad idea. I forgot the airport had a metro stop. The only time addition would be back tracking between there and the hotel in Maryland, but no matter where we parked, we would have to back track.

I'm good with taking the metro, I've ridden it many times before, I just have never had to park in town. :-)

I know!
When I lived south of DC for the JAG Internship, when I headed into DC, I always parked at Franconia-Springfield on the Blue line or Hunnington on the Yellow. When I went to DC in early Feb this yr, I parked at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Building at 1300 Penn... but that was on a Saturday, so I have to think it's full by midmorning on a weekday.
