Our senior daughter is headed to D.C. area for the national We The People competition at George Mason University. I can plan a trip to St Barth in about 5 minutes, but I know nothing about this area even though I visited in college. I have done a bit of research though and emailed a few people, but need all the advice I can get. Here is what I do know. GMU is in Fairfax and the hotel which is on that campus is booked solid so we'd need to stay nearby. It is my impression that we don't want to rent a car. True or false? How would we get to GMU without a car, take a taxi?
We will only see her compete for a few hours on a Saturday and Sunday. The rest of the time we'd like to see the sights. It sounds like we can hop the metro into the mall area and back, but I was thinking, would we be better off staying on that side and taking the metro back for the competition? I know several of you are from this area so I appreciate any suggestions you have. We will arrive on a Friday and leave Sunday evening.
Thanks, Bev
