GOLF There will be no golf tournament this year.  Golf course accessibility on weekends in the DC area is quite limited. Plus with the many tourist opportunities available dictated not offering golf this year.

TOURS  There are many sights to see in Washington D.C. Metro transit has a station right in our hotel making mass transit an easy and sensible way to take in the sights. In addition, we will be investigating organized tours with pickup at the hotel and guided tours throughout the city. Details to follow.
