We are planning for a trip with a stay in Fairfax, use metro and go to DC for 3 days. Seems like you had the same days and places.

Since you have given Holiday Day Inn Exp high rating, we might end up staying there since it is only 5-min drive to Metro station.

Thanks.

Sounds like you had a great time despite the blister on your toe. I will make sure to bring good walking shoes. We plan to take our 2 sons there in either May or June 2009. Hopefully we will have a great time and get to see a lot of things.
