Washington DC questions

I am staying at the Westin Grand Washington DC for 4 nights with my eleven year old dd.

I will not have a car and am arriving via train.

1. What sort of transportion is there to get from the train station (Union Station) to the hotel? It is located 2350 M Street N.W. -

2. How long would you plan at the Washington Monument? I have 2:30 pm tour time on Sat the 18. Is there anything special that I should know in advance?

3. I am thinking of going to the Holocaust museum on Sunday, the 19th - any tips regarding that as well?

4. Libary of Congress - I am thinking of going Monday. I am waiting to hear back from our Congress person regarding whitehouse tours so that is all subject to change based on what she indicates. She called me for my security clearance but this was prior to the bailout and I am not sure how their office is functioning etc right now.

Anything you can recommend about the Libary of Congress?

Do you feel the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is worth a trip?

We have arrive by train on Sat at 10:30 am and plan to drop our bags and hit the ground running.

We have 4 days total. (we leave on Wed the 22 around 10:30 am or so).

I would love good resturant recommendations that might not need reservations - we are not foodies and will want to just pop in someplace on our touring time - but do enjoy good food that is not in a chain resturant.

Thanks in advance - you have all been amazing about NYC and our other trips!

:-)

Dawn
