Question BWI to DC on July 4th plus fireworks

Hello-

1. Transport question
We are 2 adults and 2 kids arriving on July 4. What is the best way to get to DC from BWI? Our hotel is in the Foggy Bottom area.
The MARC won't be operating that day. Amtrak was priced at $33 for all 4 of us one way. But then we'll need to get from Union Station to our hotel. We're use to taking the BART from SFO to embarcadero but not sure how complicated taking the train is from BWI to DC with 2 small kids in tow.
Are other shuttle services you recommend? Should we just take a taxi?

2. Fireworks question
We are planning to catch the fireworks after checking into our hotel. Any advice on where a good place to see it and how to get to and from would be appreciated. Our hotel is one mile from the Lincoln memorial.
We weren't planning on bringing our strollers but maybe we should if we'll be doing lots of walking...

Thank you in advance!
