I’ve been on the beltway during rush hour after visiting Mount Vernon. It was a nightmare.

"...the beltway during rush hour..."

I never did the five-day-a-week beltway commute thing,
but years ago I used to spend most of my weekends
in Virginia so I experienced many a Friday afternoon
rush hour there.

I also became pretty good at avoiding the DC area
altogether on those trips - swing either east or
west and go around the entire mess.
