Contact your congressman or senator about booking a tour of the Capital. We did it and it is very cool. Also, Gettysburg
is very cool if you are willing to drive.

I'd use the circulator bus for getting around the mall. Everything is much further apart than most expect. (edit added)

They have scooters you can rent. Makes the mall much easier to navigate.

Seems like it would be a current administration problem if still under lockdown.

Uber could run you about $50 each way. Lyft will probably be cheaper. Either way
