Oh, and if you do decide to follow mapquest/google map directions, don't believe them that taking Route 7 is an easy hour and a half. It isn't, because Tysons and 7 Corners are a nightmare at any and all hours. The former Mr. Trixie once tried to see if it was quicker, it took him hours.

Ugh, what the heck is OFF PEAK TRAVEL around this area? Three a.m.?

But yeah, it sounds pretty accurate to me. It's a fairly long drive.
When my horse did the 1st Years at Capital Challenge, one morning I made it to the show in less than 10 minutes . . . but that was at 3:30 a.m.

well normally I would take the Greenway to the Toll Rd, I guess to the beltway south yes? and yes, I am used to paying $$$$ on tolls to go anywhere around here ;) I mentioned it to DH and he didn't say no....so maybe he'll come :clap: but then again.... :lonely: probably not. But I'll go for sure, just found out DS doesnt have baseball so we might as well make the trek for the day, with or without hubby. Thanks ladies!

oh and no believe it or not we have not done the Mall yet...we have only gone to the Capitol and Union Station in DC...

Yup, I think Greenway/Toll Road/Beltway probably is your best bet.

You all might not feel like walking around DC after being at a horse show. Maybe just tell the DH that if he doesn't come with you, it's not your fault if you come home with a fancy pony stuffed in the trunk! ;)
