I just wanted to give a resounding DITTO to Robin's suggestion about the Tourmobile. I also would suggest that you park at one of the subway stations in the suburbs and take the subway into downtown. Parking at the stations is free and parking downtown can be costly, if you can find it. When we do drive into the city we find the Union Station parking lot is the best. You can buy Tourmobile tickets in Union Station and board the subway. Anne E.

Lines were long everywhere due to bags having to be searched before going into any of the museums. The FDR memorial is phenomenal!! We were just in Washington, DC last week and I paid $18 for an all day pass on the "Tourmobile". It is a tour bus that stops at 25 different sites and you can get on and off whenever you want. While you are on the tram, the tour guides tell you lots of interesting facts. It was well worth the $18! Have fun, I can't wait to go back!
