Flight Tickets to Washington

Family travel to Washington, D.C. offers you world class museums with free admission clustered conveniently around the National Mall. With the Monuments, the White House, the Capitol Building it's irresistible.

We found out that DC has a wonderful Metro, train/subway, system which will take the traveler almost anywhere in the general area. First we had to find the stations near us and check out the parking. The station at College Park is convenient, but has a postage stamp parking lot. Mostly students from the University of Maryland use this depot via their shuttle bus
