Getting to the National Mall without getting a parking ticket.




The Orange Line provides a easy ride to the Smithsonian Station which one you get above ground is in the middle of the Mall.  It is near the Smithsonian castle.  On days when there are big events on the mall, which is nearly always, this is the best source of transportation, other than the Segway seen above.  Avoid Rush Hour!!!   This is during the time that the regular riders fill the trains to overflowing.  Also be aware that Metro is not so reliable these days on the weekends when they like to do repair work and the trains can be delayed.

The Washington Monument looks different these days.  This is not some artistic update, but a project to repair the monument when it was recently damaged by an earthquake that gave all of DC a big shake.
