Mom your friend was probably talking about Colonial Williamsburg, which I think would be do-able. Google projects the time as 2 hours, which I don't believe, because it took us an hour to get to Manassas.

You can also see why it's not easy to get to the ocean.

Just Things
Earthship: what David and Jen want to live in
I'm starting to plan your trip - this is a list of activities I think would be fun
On the weekend - Saturday or Sunday we should hit:
Mt Vernon - George Washington's Estate - full day of walking and guided tours
or
Gettysburg PA - the town of - visit battlefields - 1/2 walking, 1/2 driving
or
Manassas - National Park - battlefield - half day of walking - tag on small tour of Virginia horse country.
During the week we should hit:
National Mall East Side - FULL day of WALKING - visit some Smithsonian museums, US Botanic Gardens, the Capitol (if you want), other gov buildings - you can really only do about 3-4 museums, 4 if you want to walk through, 3 if you want to meander though, 2 if you want to study. I have found the art museums rather blase...
National Mall West Side - FULL day of WALKING - 100% monuments - Washington, Lincoln, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korean and more (5+ miles without the Jefferson Monument - add 2 miles to include Jefferson although there might be a shuttle, Ill look)
Other things to do:
Arlington National Cemetery - half a day
The White House - half a day
Holocaust Memorial Museum
National Zoo, International Spy Museum ($), Postal Museum, National Arboretum...
Gimme a heads up on what you'd like to see/do and Ill work on a plan

Ah politics
I'm still a Paul supporter - but this is a very informative article about Hillary and Obama.

Dun Dun Dun...
Ok, I'm going to show you my comic - this is what I've been spending my time on... I couldn't come up with a script so I stole the story from Grimm (as in the brothers Grimm). I used The Princess in Disguise - my most favored fairytale. I retrofitted it to match my insanity.
Key word - insanity.
It's called 4panelGrimm
