To answer your last question first--I am coordinating the Mosaic section. Send
me an email if you have a special request or a need for something (or just
respond here).
I also might be able to help you out with holding your Lego afterwards but I
will be on an inflexible (and mostly unavailable) schedule starting early Monday
morning (the 28th)...but if we can work around that, I can help. Also, it's
possible--since you're staying there for four or five nights--that the hotel
will hold bags for you after you check out...I'd look into that.
As for transportation, a rental car would make things a bit easier but you can
probably get by without one. I understand that the hotel has a shuttle that
runs not only to the airport but also to the nearby mall (where the Lego Store
is located). I wouldn't be surprised if they also had a shuttle to the nearest
Metro station (which would take you to the major tourist destinations in
downtown DC).
