Getting to DCA...
I'm going to be heading out of DCA later this summer and was just checking for sure how to get there via metro. Do I just get on the yellow or blue line and it'll take me there? What terminal or area of the airport does the metro drop you off at? Thanks

Yes, the blue or yellow line will take you there. The airport stop (officially called Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) is right after Crystal City if you're coming from downtown Washington.
I believe there are walkways to the main terminal at both the north and south ends of the Metro station. If you're going to Terminal A (Northwest, Spirit, Airtran, Midwest), it's probably a 5-10 minute walk, or you can take a shuttle bus that comes every few minutes.

It doesn't get much easier than Metro to DCA. Just make sure that you get on either the Blue Line to Springfield or the Yellow Line to Huntington.
When you exit look for the signs that will tell you to go either right or left (north or south) to the various airlines.
