When I was still working, a colleague and I were sent to Washington, DC for a series of classes presented by IBM. The company put us up in Embassy Suites and there's one on each end of the mall. And each one had inside access to the metro. That's the only way to travel. Stay off of the surface streets. You're an amateur in a sea of pros. The Metro is clean, well lit, and patrolled. And there's an underground stop at the Smithsonian. Your kids will love it, and so will you.
We were there the end of May for a couple of weeks. The end of May, many of the stores underground were closed for JFKs birthday on May29th. But one store was closed for Jefferson Davis' birthday on June 3rd. DC is considered the south by some folks. :)
