@ charlie, TimK: Interesting. I had no clue the mix of visitors was so different. I would have guessed that kids just go to the nearest huge city for a school trip.

Am I also wrong assuming that most bus tourists are coming from the surrounding states here? VA, MD, DE, WV, NC, SC, PA, NJ, NY, perhaps CT? That's what roughly seems to be a decent tour car radius. From much further they'd start to fly.

I guess I have a hard time seeing kids form Maine coming to DC in stead of NY and kinds from NC going to NY in stead of DC.

On the other hand, I've taken my co-students by bus from the NL to Spain and my high-school stuffed us on a train to Rome. Hmmmm. Lots to think about.

BTW: Space for tour buses. There is quite a bit of space between the Jefferson Memorial and the Golf Course. I know the local NPS HQ sits there, but with a bit of good will, it should be possible to make a large (and nicely priced) bus parking there.
