Who To ExpectAt the Inauguration

PDF by Wendy Maxwell

It’s actually really easy to get around the DC area! Most people who come to visit, as well as locals & commuters, use the WMATA (Washington Metro Transportation System) to get around. Thanks to SmarTrip cards, transferring between buses and trains is also very easy, and they can also be used in the parking lots at most Metro stations. When you go to the machines located inside the stations to add money to your cards, the exact amount you will need for your fare is listed at the top of each machine. You can also add money to your cards in the station and online (https://www.wmata.com/fares/smartrip/index.cfm). If you are going to make multiple stops in a day, I highly recommend getting a 1-day pass, as it is a lot cheaper and easier in the long run. You can buy cards in the station or online (https://smartrip.wmata.com/storefront). Special Inauguration SmarTrip cards are also sold online.

If you loose your card or you need ANY help, please don’t be afraid to ask the WMATA Police or Metro Transit Employees for help! That’s what they are there for! Also, Metro Access is a WMATA Shuttle System available for persons with disabilities. To the left is a map of the WMATA Metro System and below is a QR Code for the WMATA website. A larger version of this map with more detail can also be found via “Navigate DC” QR Code on the back of this brochure!

Inclement Weather

Should bad weather (a thunderstorm, rain, high winds, extreme cold, snow storm) impact your day, there are plenty of places to seek shelter on the National Mall and around it. Union Station (www.unionstationdc.com) has restaurants in the lower level, near the subway entrance, and other shops and restaurants in the Amtrak (upper) level. Also, the museums on the Mall are free and you are more than welcome to seek shelter inside these, especially during a thunderstorm or high winds. Around the White House area, there are a lot of cafes and shops that you can go into, including Starbucks, Au Bon Pain, and Potbelly! Also, if for some reason you need to buy a poncho, sweatshirt, gloves, or hat (and/or want a souvenir from DC), there are many mobile kiosks around the National Mall that sell these items (and to-go food). The normal range for this time of year is 40°F for a high, 23°F for a low, and you will likely see it somewhere in the middle for much of the day. Normal weather for 12 pm EST is a temperature of 37°F, partly cloudy skies, 10 mph wind and a wind chill of 31°F. Please make sure that you wear warm clothes and check the weather before you go--weather in D.C. can change rapidly, and cold fronts can plunge the temperature into the single digits from 40F in under two hours, so plan ahead. The week of January 20, 2016 saw frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall. Check WJLA (http://wjla.com/weather) or WTOP (http://wtop.com/weather) for Weather on the 8’s updates. A current weather forecast will also be posted to the FSU Blog website, along with any weather-related warnings.

Here are just a few of the major attractions in the DMV Area.

Lincoln MemorialThis is one of the most visited memorials in D.C. and when you walk in and look up at the massive statue of Lincoln, then gaze out at the Reflecting Pool, you’ll see why. It’s one of my favorite places to go and read a book, especially on a warm summer afternoon. The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument.

National World War II MemorialIf you’re going to or coming from the Lincoln Memorial, take a moment to stop hear and pay your respects to those who served and gave their lives, in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II.

Washington MonumentThe Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, once commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first American president. You can see this monument tower above the entire National Mall, and you can even spot it from the balcony at the Newseum. You can also see the White House from one side of the Washington Monument grounds.

These are just a few of the memorials you should see.

There are many other events going on during the Inauguration week for Jan 2017, including the following.

Other Special Events in D.C.

Shopping & FoodIn the D.C. Area

There is a never-ending list of things to do and see in the D.C. area, 365 days a year. Here are a few tourist favorites. For a longer list, check out the FSU blog website on the back of this brochure.

Downtown Silver SpringHere’s a secret: this is one of the FAVORITE places to go for shopping and to hang out in the DMV, especially among college students. My old college, Montgomery College, is just up the road a few miles from there, and we used to walk down to Downtown Silver Spring every day to hang out, grab a bite to eat, and shop. Downtown Silver Spring is literally just a short walk up the hill (two blocks) from the WMATA Metro Station. There’s a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts next to the Metro stop, as well as another Starbucks in downtown Silver Spring. There’s also Fudruckers, Panera, Cold Stone Creamery, Chickfilae, Chipotle, Ben & Jerry’s, McGinty’s, Potbelly’s, and numerous non-chain restaurants to choose from!

GeorgetownGeorgetown is a beautiful location with a scenic canal walk, and exciting places to shop and experience. From bakeries and cupcake stores, to clothing and jewelry stores, to the infamous Escape Room, there’s something there for everyone. There is no Metro stop in the city itself, but there are three within a short walk from there, and getting from the Metro into Georgetown is not difficult (www.georgetowndc.com/visit/getting-here_. There is also a bus called The D.C. Circulator, which goes from the White House area and Union Station to Georgetown (www.dccirculator.com/explore/where-we-go/georgetown/).

Tysons Corner CenterLocated on Metro’s Silver Line, Tysons Corner Center is home to over 300 specialty and department stores, celebrated restaurants, eateries and entertainment. Tysons Corner Mall is by far one of my favorite places to go to and shop at. They even have small fire pits outside to sit and warm yourself by, as well as an ice skating rink and a sushi bar.

Sprinkles CupcakesSprinkles Cupcakes are handcrafted from the finest ingredients, including sweet cream butter, bittersweet Belgian chocolate, pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, fresh bananas and carrots, real strawberries and natural citrus zests. Topped with Sprinkles trademark modern dots, rich chocolate sprinkles from France or seasonal sugar decorations. It is located in Georgetown, VA.

Pentagon City MallFashion Centre at Pentagon City, located just moments from the nation’s capital, and on the Washington DC Metro system, offers a world-class shopping experience where avenues of fashions and boulevards of style await. A scenic glass elevator ride to the third level reveals more than 170 fascinating stores and restaurants including Macy’s, Nordstrom, The Ritz-Carlton, Apple, Coach, Michael Kors and Tourneau. The skylit food court features international specialties from the familiar to the exotic.

BethesdaThe Bethesda Arts & Entertainment district is home to fantastic shopping and more than 200 restaurants. Bethesda also hosts literary and arts festivals as well as a summer concert series. You can read Bethesda via the Bethesda Metro Stop on the WMATA line.

Compass CoffeeTwo Marine buddies who bonded over coffee decided to pour that Semper Fi dedication into serious beans. The pair, who encourage customers to hang out as long as they want while sipping java and enjoying the free wi-fi, opened a second location in The Shay last fall and has a large roastery/cafe in the works for Ivy City. The Nutella latte is a must, and you can now find kolaches there on weekends. Located in central D.C.
