Which is the best WW1 and 2 museums to see inthe Dunkirk area?

Going to DC for the day and not familiar with the area?

• I am staying in the Winchester, VA area for a couple weeks and I was planning on going down to DC this weekend to see the sites. I want to see the smithsonian, monuments, etc. What would be the best thing to do so that I only have to park my car once for the day? I don't mind walking. I have heard that you can park in some of the suburbs at metro stations and then take the metro in? Which station would be closest from where I'm coming from? How much does the parking cost? What stop are all the museums/monuments near? Do I need to ride the metro multiple times? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

• Answer:

  You can always drive to Arlington, VA and park your car at the Ballston Common mall. Walk over to the metro via the skywalk- which is two blocks away. The mall parking garage has Patrolled Security, it's convenient, and it's about $8 max for parking. How To Get From The Ballston Parking Garage To Ballston Metro Station ( Orange Line ) via the Skywalk. Take elevator to level 2 of the Mall. Turn left at escalators. Turn right at the center court. Go forward to Skywalk (next to Foot Locker). Go through Skywalk and follow the signs to the Ballston Metro. *Daily Rates Up to 3 hours...................................… Up to 4 hours...................................… Up to 5 hours...................................… Up to 6 hours...................................… Up to 7 hours...................................… Up to 8 hours...................................… Maximum...............................… *First 3 Hours Shop 'til you drop...only $1.00 Monday - Friday *After 6:00 p.m. Just $1.00 Monday - Friday *Weekends $1.00 all day and night ***Here's the Metro Site for getting around DC*** http://www.wmata.com/index.cfm Washington, D.C.
