18 April 2026 Washington DC: The Older Folks Day Golf Cart Part 1

 


Our first event us a stretch golf cart ride all around the mall.  The cart picked up at the Willard Hotel, one of the oldest hotels in DC. The term lobbyist came from this actual lobby.  We spotted a memorial park across the street that we zoomed through.  Once we got into the golf cart, we took off into the town.
