I agree on the National Airport choice. You can get to Falls Church from National via the Metro or a cab or a rental. It's way easier as long as you can follow directions.
ETA: I say "as long as you can follow directions" because I have a friend who is challenged in that skill and took over an hour to make a 10 minute trek to his motel, all while on the phone with my DH.
I'm so sorry Cash. Your poor family.
Oh Cashmere, I'm so sorry.
On the bright side, the pilot for this flight is a woman with a thick Texas accent, and I'm picturing that msbelle will be flying the plane. Or maybe Elastigirl.
Tom, what airline and flight number? We'll follow you on the flight trackers.
ftr, I RAWK at doing the Elastigirl parts in The Incredibles book.
Tom, Elastigirl doesn't have too good of a track record with regards to piloting planes.
I am with Hil in regards to National vs. Dulles. I very much prefer National and find the metro very easy to deal with. But I once road a shuttle in Dulles with Gary Condit.
Both good choices, Tom, for pilots.
Cash, she was good until the missiles locked on her. And then she was inventive with getting everyone safely down.
