Talk about this trip (2)
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to arrange things for best efficiency, I would appreciate it.
1. we are doing Monuments by Moonlight the day we arrive, Wednesday 11-22, so that should knock out Lincoln Memorial etc.
2. Thursday, Thanksgiving, we expect to hoof it to museums etc, since the tourbuses aren't operating. So we have some flexibility on this day
3. Friday we have booked Old Town Trolley and want to use that to max our coverage AND get to Arlington Natl Cemetary, if that is a doable thing
4. Sat is relatively unbooked at this time. We have Mt. Vernon by candlelight that night. Thought about having dinner at Mt. Vernon as well but don't want to over-saturate our Mt. Vernon experience.
Thanks for any suggestions !

Stewart, would be interested in how your trip turned out. We are planning a trip to DC this Thanksgiving with our 15 and 12 yr old boys.
