How cold is it going to be? I am a california boy...
Screw the usual sights, What are the really cool things to check out on limited time(3 Days)?
What's the best redskins store in town?
Good places to eat? Where to go at night to enjoy the nightlife?
Should we(3 others) rent a car or just use public transportation?
Should we take the hotel bus to the game or should deal with the parking situation if we drive?

Any info is helpful.
Thanks

depends where u are staying. if u stay downtown u can walk pretty much anywhere that matters, at least i have been able to do so from past experiences. weather is never a constant around here so cant really tell you, but bring a heavy coat just incase, it will probably be in the 40s. try chinatown for some restraunts if u like chinese, i think there are some good ones out there, chinatown is connected with verizon center. theres also an espnzone there but not that original i suppose. a personal favorite of mine is "capital city brewing company", a microbrewery near verizon center if u dont like chinese. cant tell u much about nightlife, havent experienced it. ive never been able to go up the washington monument, the line is either too long or they were renovating it, but might be worth a try. tons of museums if u are into that stuff. go to union station also, great place to shop and has restraunts also
