Washington Bus Tour - Capitol	From the National Air and Space Museum we drove to a motel near a Washington metro stop. The next day we got an all day metro pass and took the metro into Washington. We signed up for a bus tour that allowed you to get on and off, and used it and the metro through out the day to get from place to place.
