DC - Udvar Hazy & Marine Corps Museu

Itinerary

6:30 AM Depart Weis Markets, High St. Carlisle
7:00 AM Depart Weis Markets, Simpson Ferry Rd, Mechanicsburg
10:00 AM Arrive at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. The National Museum of the Marine Corps is a lasting tribute to U.S. Marines — past, present, and future. Situated on a 135-acre site adjacent to the Marine Corps base in Quantico, the Museum’s soaring design evokes the image of the flag-raisers of Iwo Jima and beckons visitors to its 118,000-square-foot structure. World-class interactive exhibits using the most innovative technology will surround visitors with irreplaceable artifacts and immerse them in the sights and sounds of Marines in action. There are trained volunteers stationed at posts throughout the Museum to answer questions and provide additional information.

Lunch in the Marine Corps Mess Hall included

Depart for The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles
International Airport. It is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. The building provides enough space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited on the National Mall. The two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts in the world.

5:00 PM Dinner included at Filomena restaurant. Located in the heart of Georgetown in Washington, D.C., Filomena’s doors opened on May 23, 1983. Since that time,
people have packed Filomena to catch a glimpse of an all but forgotten time when the dinner table was not only the center of family life, but also the source of entertainment, wonderful memories and great satisfaction for all.
