Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions and recommendations, both on
and off-list
We had planned to bypass Washington, having spent several days there a
couple of years ago, but the Spanish Art and Armor is just too tempting
:-)
Stauton sounds really interesting as well, but I don't think we will
have time for it this time round. I have started a list for "next time"
already :-(
This sort of travel is a real juggling act between time spent on the
road getting from place to place, and having plenty of time when you get
where you are going.

I've misplaced the original message, so I don't know how far you are
planning to get into Virginia, but you might want to consider the Museum
of American Frontier Culture at Staunton in the Shenandoah Valley. They
have structures and interpreters from the 1600s and 1700s from England,
Ireland, Germany, and West Africa, culminating in an 1850s American
homestead.
