We took the train from NY to DC. It takes you directly into the Central Station, which is also where one catches the tram around DC.
We had not had any luck finding an exchange for NY, but we found a very nice simultaneous exchange with a couple with a house in Takoma, which is just outside DC, and is on the Metro line. There house was a ten minute walk from the Metro, and we included cars in our exchange. We used their car to go to the store and one trip to Harpers Ferry and the Aero Space museum.
We were able to see all the usual things in DC. We saw both houses of congress. The house was having one of their lightly attended debates. The Senate was actually having a vote on a gun control issue, so we saw all the Senators. Clay was quite impressed with seeing John McCain.
We missed our tea with Patty Murray, but one of her new staffers gave us a tour.
