Gerry, you're gonna cut it short if you try to do Gettysburg in one day and DC in two. And, if you go to Gettysburg, you should take an extra day and go to Antietam, near Thurmont, Md., and just south of Gettysburg. While Gettysburg was the end of the Army of Virginia and the real turning point of the war, Antietam was the bloodiest day, and about an hour south of Gettysburg.

But it will be hard to do DC in one day. The metro can be accessed from several suburbs very easily, and will bring you up at a station right in the Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian and near the Washington Monument, Vietnam Memorial, and WW II Memorial. Arlington is not too far away, as is Mount Vernon and many other attractions. There is also the Washington Masonic Memorial just south of town in Alexandria, and that can take a day in itself. You could easily spend a week in the DC area and not get bored. If you do use the metro, it will also pay to get an extended pass- it's good for bus and rail service in the area. The Metro can be accessed from Lanham, northeast of town, or from Rockville to the northwest, as well as locations at College Park and Silver Spring, and will get you to many locations surrounding Washington.

So if you're planning a trip to this area, please don't cheat yourself for time. I was born and raised on the Ma & Pa border, and within a couple of hours of most of this stuff, and I still haven't seen it all- try to take at least a week just for the area around DC. You can lost in the Smithsonian for that long.
