Well if you are staying in Annapolis and just wanting to visit Baltimore and DC while there, be aware of traffic. I suggest leaving after rush hour (9:30am). However, parking in DC isn%26#39;t that great after that hour and the traffic is still bad. I would suggest using the Landover Metro Station which is accessible off of Rt. 50 (coming from Annapolis) and just parking your car and catching metro in. However if you had to drive, I would park somewhere near the mall area. There is usually more parking than expected here since there aren%26#39;t that many office buildings as there is further in downtown.

Now don%26#39;t know much about Baltimore but I would assume that it is a little better parking than DC but not much.

It will pretty easy to visit the Smithsonian museums in about 1-2 days. They are all pretty much next to or near each other.

I agree whole heartedly about taking the Metro into DC. When going into DC from Annapolis, I usually go to the New Carrollton Metro station, but the Landover station is also fine. Both are on the same line (orange).

Baltimore is usually a little easier to drive into, but parking can be pricey. I usually take 97 to 695W to 95N to 395 to get into Baltimore. (There is much less traffic and lights than taking 295 which is the most direct route.)

I would post the question about spefic places to park in the Baltimore forum. There are plenty of garages and most are well marked, but I do not know if any are cheaper than others. Everyone that I park in seems to be expensive.

You will not be able to see all of DC in a day, but you should get a taste of what is there. While I am not a fan of DC (due mostly to the traffic, parking, crime, etc), there is plenty to see and do there, much more than Annapolis and Baltimore.
