I have never been on the subway in the US so someone else would have to lead me. lol

It may seem that Delaware is in a separate country owned by the DuPont family but it is really part of the US. :blushing:

If you are coming down 95, once you get to the Washington Beltway you are very close to the Greenbelt Metro Station that has a huge parking lot - unfortunately not free but $5/day.
Metro train downtown from there about 25 pleasant minutes.

Coming down 270, in case Mishele lives in central PA, because of an oddity in the road access, the best Metro stop is Forest Glen if you don't have GPS and Grosvenor=Strathmore if you do. (but we'll work this out later)

If you are planning to park on the outskirts and take the Metro in (as I will be doing to avoid traffic), new Carrollton Station with lots of parking is about half a mile off Route 50.
If you will be there for the early shift, you will have to drive in and park on Ohio Drive because Metro doesn't start until 7:30 or so.
I don't plan on doing the sunrise thing - which is in the neighborhood of 6:45 - I've seen too many, but will find a place we can meet around 8:30 or 9 and then go on from there to your choice of places.

Sounds good. I'll be doing the metro.
