If you miss your connecting flight in DC because your incoming flight was late, the airline will rebook you on another flight at no additional cost to you, so it isn't the end of the world. You'll arrive at your destination later than planned, but you won't get stuck with buying a new half ticket or anything crazy like that. The only big question is how long it will take for that next flight and that depends on cause of the delay, space on the next flight(s), how many other people are in the same situation, etc. But missing a connection is more an inconvenience (sometimes a big one) than a disaster, so don't get yourself worked up about that either. You've just got to roll with the punches and allow for the possibility of a late arrival at your final destination. Good luck & enjoy flight -- it is addictive!
