Saturday or Sunday are good days to visit if you don't plan on trying to get into the Capitol or the White House. Those types of attractions are usually pretty full and they are not usually fully staffed. If you want to visit the Mall, see the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, VietNam Memorial, WW2 Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Truman and Jefferson Memorials, then there's parking around the Tidal Basin and an easy walk to the Mall. The Holocost Museum is right across from that parking lot, and other than the "airport search" you have to undergo to get in, it's a somber experience that changes a carefree day into one that opens reflection and appreciation.

From Manassas to the Tidal Basin at 9AM on the weekend may take up to 3 hours, it's worse during the week !!!! Oh yes, it's a 16 mile trip LOL Be prepared for traffic delays, they're inevitable.....
