Howdy from central Florida. I found this thread because we are wanting to explore the Washington DC area in the last week in March. That should be cherry blossum time on the national mall! My daughter is at Andrews AFB so we are planning a week-long visit in a couple weeks. Plan to drive up. Google maps say DC to Orlando is 14 hours, but we normally can drive it in 11 hours. We have visited the National museums and monuments already, but would like to venture-out into suburban DC and western Maryland or eastern Virginia.
Please suggest to us what you know of any interesting parks, historical sites, and public or private gardens
that we can tour ? Maybe there is a DG thread already that you can direct us to read ?

Has anyone visited the river farm at the American Horticultural Society north of Mt. Vernon ?
