I remember being able to drive down from Annapolis in less than an hour
and find a parking place on the street right at the main entrance to the
Smithsonian. Must not have visited during tourist season.

Your odds of winning the Powerball lottery are probably better than finding a parking
spot there during the summer. Best to park at a far metro station and take that into
town.

If you time it so you are just getting there at 10, you can score but
there will be someone waiting for you too pull out. If I couldn't find
a spot, I would just go home. I was passing through anyway. I usually
decided which museum I would visit by where I parked. They are strung
out all along the mall there and you have plenty of choices. Most of
the year parking is not that tough tho.
Another cool spot is Haines Point. I caught a small mouth bass off of
that seawall once on a rubber worm. I didn't really have anything to
do with it so I tossed it back.

Hanes Point was always a great place to take kids so they could climb and play all
over 'The Awakening'. But, since they've moved the statue to National Harbor (where I
won't go), the point has lost it's big attraction.

The golf course isn't bad if there's been no rain recently. It's a nice one for
walking.
