Just got my Sox @ Nationals tickets (we decided to only buy 1 set of tickets ahead of time). Section 107 - Row CC. Has anybody sat in this section before? Can't imagine there are any bad seats but just would like some feedback on it. We are also re-arranging the schedule to cut back the # of nights again and may add a game in NY on the way down (Rays @ Mets).

Just read some of the earlier posts on the Zoo and I think it should be mentioned that the zoo is located on the sie of a hill. The metro stops are down hill and up hill from the entrance, but to explore the zoo, you have to go down a hill and back up to get back to the entrance. In other words, the metros are north and south of the entrance, but the zoo runs east-west sloping down to the east. There is a back entrance at the bottom of the hill, but you have to walk back up the hill at some point to get to any metro. Just thought I would let you know.
I agree with other posts encouraging spending a few more bucks to be closer in town. It is worth the money. Commuting into the city takes away from your vacation time and is a royal pain to do everyday.
IMO - The Holocaust museum is incredible, but also very emotionally draining. It takes a while to get through as well. Totally worth the trip and you should go for sure, but may impact how much else you do on that day.
BTW-the new stadium is fantastic! Not a bad seat in the house!! Have a blast. It sounds like a great trip!!

There's a decent "Find Your Seat" feature -- better than a lot of other sites -- on the National Park website. Great beer and food choices.
Days Inn is light years better than the Red Roof on a number of levels. Area is quiet but convenient.

Time for a random question. Does the Museum of American History have the MASH Signpost back on display? The page here (http://americanhistory.si.edu/collec...y=35&objkey=88) states that it was moved during renovation. I am a huge MASH fan so would love to see it.
