I am very tentatively planning a trip to DC on 7/22-7/25. Right now the plan is to hit the Nationals game on Friday night, Site see on Saturday and then take the train to Baltimore on Sunday for the Oriole's afternoon game and returning to DC that night. In regards to hotels, best place to stay eat I know nothing about either city. We do not plan to rent a car. We typically use a travel agent but I was hoping to cut out the middle man this time.
I have checked Expedia and could get air fare and hotel for my wife and I for around $900 depending on where we wanted to stay. I thought we would stay in downtown DC for the site seeing and its close to Nationals Park. When we were in Boston and San Fran they had bus tours so I assume DC would have something similar.
So what sites etc are musts do's or are easily skip able. The Mrs. isn't much of a dedicated walker and is more of a slower pace meander-er which suits me as well. So that is a big factor in deciding what and how much to see. She has been to DC before but I have not (other than a weekend at College Park for a tournament 20+ years ago). Any great restaurants in either DC or Baltimore that are musts? Other than the baseball games any other activities are on the table so to speak. We are regular folks with no refined tastes so fancy dining usually does not interest us. Anything that is a must eat at either ballpark? I do plan to have crab cakes at Camden yards.
Tickets for the Nationals game seem to be very expensive. I have never used Stub hub or similar sites for tickets but I think I may have to due that for at the games. I have never actually booked through Expedia or those sites either. I tend to have a fear of these type of sites which I am sure is irrational.
Any help is appreciated.
