Today I travelled from Washington to Milwaukee. Since I had all my luggage with me, I went a slightly different way on the metro to the trip planner's suggested route, going one station further on the Green Line to Archives to change to the Yellow Line that runs the opposite way but branches back off to the airport - this station has an island platform, so it's much easier to change than going up and down escalators that would have been needed at L'Enfant Plaza station.
I've never been to Ronald Reagan National airport before - it's much smaller than the (now) main airport Dulles. I went in, straight through and was at the gate 10 minutes after getting off the metro. We were warned the flight down from Chicago had been bumpy, so it might be bumpy on the way back too, but it was OK. We left early and arrived in Chicago on time. I made my way on the Blue Line down to Clinton and walked up to Union Station ready for my train. The train was packed, almost everybody was going to Milwaukee rather than any of the 4 intermediate stations.
I had an excellent steak for dinner at Mo's A Place For Steaks.
