Fogo de chao or any meat-heavy restaurant would be good. Fogo de Chao is memorable but it is a chain with some locations in Ohio so it might not feel speicial. Old Ebbitt is really good at dealing with food allergies and special needs and it is a DC institution so that would be a good and special choice, but maybe a bit fancy for a teenager. Any steakhouse would probably be a good option. Farmers Fishers Bakers on the Georgetown waterfront is also good with allergies.

Another idea might be to take them to the seafood market at the Wharf and cook at home, if he eats fish? Or take them to a seafood restaurant, but I don't have a specific allergy-friendly recommendation for one.

Oh you're totally fine. 4 hours is a leisurely amount of time to get from DCA to IAD. International arrivals at IAD is super fast if you have global entry; if not, you might have to wait in a very long line but you will definitely be fine if you have a 5 hour layover. Even if you're the last to deplane and you wait in a long line, you'll probably clear passport control within two hours of when your plane touches down and have 3 hours to get from IAD to DCA.

If you have TSA Precheck you should be okay. If not, I wouldn't chance it. The security lines are shorter since the remodel but if you end up in line for more than about 10 min you'll be cutting it really close.

I would check out the Washingtonian's top lawyers list, it should have a section for family law and it usually has a description of the areas of practice of each lawyer. You might want to look for a lawyer who's attached to a firm that handles other civil matters, because this is going to be an unusual case that involves both tort and custody law, so you may want a firm that has experience in both.

I almost never use my car in town. Why are you driving places? Seems like a nightmare having to figure out parking when you could just walk or take metro. And I definitely wouldn't offer rides an hour out of my way unless it was a special situation, like the person was physically unable to use public transit or I hadn't seen them in months but they live far from metro and can't afford uber.

Why would you not just leave the firearm at your home? It doesn't seem safe or smart to bring it in your car to DC just to leave it in a parking garage, and it's very easy to get in trouble while trying to fly with one.

If you must leave it in your car for some reason, buy a gun safe and secure it in a locked trunk. If you drive some sort of hatchback or SUV where you can't conceal it in a trunk, don't do it. The last thing you need is for that gun to get stolen from your car and used in a crime.
