Schedule
Travel
Chevy Chase is located just outside of Washington, D.C. in Maryland. DCA is the closest airport and Union Station is the closest train station.
Once you’re in Chevy Chase or D.C., cabs and Ubers are plentiful. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the metro and bus systems are an inexpensive way to explore the city.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Laura (Laura.Eshelman@gmail.com) or Teddy (Peterson.theo@gmail.com) with any questions.
We appreciate your willingness to travel to spend this special time with us!
