Trip to Washington DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival
Saturday, March 28, 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm
International students and scholars (and their spouses) are invited to join a trip to Washington DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Parents with child/children must drive your own car -- you cannot ride with our limited number of cars.
We will meet at the International House on 2810 N Calvert St. at 1:00 pm. Please have your lunch before coming.
We will drive 50 minutes to College Park (a city outside DC), park our cars, then walk to the Metro Station to take a train.
Cost: DC Metro SmarTrip card is $2.00. Bring your DC Metro SmarTrip card if you have one.
Cost of the fare from College Park to DC is $2.50 and another $2.50 for the trip back. So, you can fill $5.00 to your Metro card for the round trip. Here is a video how to buy and use a Metro card :)

We will exit at Waterfront Station in DC and walk to the Jefferson Memorial and circle the Tidal Basin.
We will depart around 6 pm from DC, take a train back to our cars in College Park, and drive back to Baltimore. Approximately, we will arrive between 7:30 pm – 8 pm.
Space is very limited, since we have only a few cars.
If you register, you need to commit to go. If you cancel or don't show up for any reasons, you will not be allowed to join our next special event. You are wasting a seat that can be given to another student.
