We are thinking of a trip to DC in 2012 - July time frame.
Found the DC trolley thing that we will probably use to get around.
What is a moderate priced area to stay in near D.C. that will have
decent food nearby? The Trolley has shuttle tour from some hotels, is
it worth the shuttle it to not have to drive and park in D.C to get
on the tolley? ?

Try Alexandria, Virginia

We found a Motel close to the Subway and it was a very short, quick ride
over to Washington.
