"We are staying at Anacostia Naval Station, right in the
city. The directions
I pulled from the web are I-295 south to the exit for the Naval Station (just
after the Howard St. exit). After getting off the exit, make a right at the
very first light (very soon after getting off the ramp). Follow the road
around a bend and under a bridge. The Naval Yards entrance will be straight
ahead. I'm still trying to fine tune the details of where exactly on the
base we will be staying and the rules of our stay. I reserved space for
forty."
