WHERE DO I STAY while in Washington, D.C.?
DC has LOTS of hotels and AirBnB options in varying price ranges and locations around the city. If you are looking to stay in a hotel or apartment near the wedding venue, the venue is closest to the Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, Adams Morgan, Logan Circle, and U Street neighborhoods. WE live in Mt. Pleasant just 2 miles away. If you would like to stay near Jim and Ginny Curtin you can look for lodging in the Friendship Heights neighborhood.

HOW DO I GET AROUND?
The METRO transit system is very comprehensive in Washington, D.C. so that's a good place to start. METRO WEBSITE HERE
You'll need to purchase a SmarTrip (metro card) when you arrive to ride both METRO & Bus. If you'd like to purchase one online in advance and have it shipped to your house so that you're all set to go when you arrive in D.C. (which sounds like the best idea to me, personally...) CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR METRO SMARTRIP CARD ONLINE
UBER: If you have a smartphone, consider downloading the free UBER app. There are millions of drivers in this city and UberX fares are generally low in cost. It's a good, direct way to get around. If you have never used UBER before we can even get you a free ride. Once the app is downloaded navigate to the Promotions page and enter the code jkqvs.
