Vicki,

This is so long that I am not proofreading it!

While in DC, park somewhere and take the Metro (subway). Finding parking in DC is VERY difficult. We generally stop in Springfield, VA off I-95 and catch the Metro. It is very safe and clean. There is parking at each station. http://www.wmata.com/rail/ . You can buy day passes.

You can also take the Metro (or some train or other) to go between DC and Baltimore.

Baltimore:
Fort McHenry National Park http://www.nps.gov/fomc/ has nice reenactment and you can tour the fort.
The inner harbor area is a nice place for tourists.

And the Constellation is now open again after its restoration (sailing ship - sister ship of the Constitution (Old Ironsides)). We toured it while we were in Baltimore for Costume Con.

There are so many other areas to see. If I think of more, I will write you privately.
