What's better than not having to find a parking spot in DC or having to survive the Metro? Not even having to drive there in the first place and only having to pay $20!

Come let us do the driving for you and get your friends together to enjoy some leisurely hours on the bus catching up, then get dropped of at the Washington DC Mall to check our old favorites, or some new adventures. Some new adventures that have been discovered lately include:

• Visiting the US Park Police Horse Stables and Education Center - 2000 Ash Rd.
• Visit the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft Museum UNDER the actual Lincoln Memorial! (separate tickets required: https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/facility/10113318)
• International Spy Museum in L'Enfant Plaza
• Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gardens
• Einstein Planetarium

If you want to splurge, buy a ticket for a 90 minute DC Trolley tour. https://www.trolleytours.com/washington-dc/tours-1-day

Note that these are ONLY suggestions. Many of these will require extra tickets that you will have to purchase separately on your own time. The bus will drop you off on the Mall and you can explore at your leisure, either individually or in groups. Bring snacks and water bottle. Lunch is on your own.
