I wish I was going to Fords 150, pouting cause I can't

Eva, just check Trivago to see which hotel booking site has the cheapest price. Hotel, Trivago!

Eva's posting previous to this was about the excellent little b&b/hostel that she was able to find last March (in a snow storm) after the Surratt Conference was over. It is in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and looks quite charming. And, Thomas, if Trivago can beat $45/night at a decent hotel in D.C., I'll send you a Smithsonian Special Edition.

P.S. Not sure that you know that Eva lives in Kiel, Germany, on the edge of the Baltic Sea, so it requires a bit of effort and $$$ for her to come to the Surratt Conference each year -- let alone attend other history events that she would love. We in the D.C. area are very blessed to have so many things practically at our doorstep -- except cheap hotels!
