Washington, D.C.

From Burden's Landing

Dulles Airport

Near Herndon and Reston, VA. To get to D.C., take Metro Bus 5A East from 2E at the airport to Rosslyn Metro stop. This bus also has a stop right next to the Washington Dulles Marriott, where I stayed September 24-26, 2006, and which is right next to the airport.
