Arlington, Virginia guy here. Allow me to post a parking tip:
Check out the structure bounded by North 15th Street, Stafford Street, Quincy Street, and Washington-Liberty High School (formerly known as Washington-Lee...weak sauce)
That 2-block deck over I-66 is a free, multi-level parking garage that never seems to be full. Also just a few blocks walk to Ballston Station, provided they keep Metrorail open...also by the 38B Metrobus line that runs to downtown DC. I've personally walked to DC from there also. Sidewalks and trails everywhere and no hazardous highway crossings.
