Title: QC Meetup Saturday 12 April 2014, D.C. Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival)
Post by: GarandMarine on 26 Feb 2014, 10:08
I'm going down to the D.C. Cherry Blossom festival this year and I'd be overjoyed if any of you could join me. Obviously the Smithsonian and other awesome D.C. stuff is still there in addition to the event itself, so it'd probably just be a wandering hang out.

I might be down, if rail tickets aren't too pricey.

Or you could just drive down to Newark (DE) Friday night and catch a ride with me that morning, we'll kidnap Lee on the way.

Be careful if y'all are crazy enough to drive downtown. The Cherry Blossom Festival is apparently DC's biggest source of parking ticket revenue for the whole year.

Good plan. Probably Greenbelt if you come down 95 from Baltimore.

I've been to D.C. a few times now, I'm smarter then to try and take on D.C. traffic with anything less then a LAV
