For future [[Travel]] reference. Peak boom cherry blossom season trip.
We paid about $80 tolls
We also paid $40 for 1 tank of gas, 400 miles.
College park hotel booked with free night… $125 retail cost.
Lessons Learned:
- Check out Board and Brew coffee near hotel
- Next time, reserve time for Ikea
- Take green train toward branch ave (not toward greenbelt. It’s confusing. Green train goes toward greenbelt, but that’s opposite direction from DC)
- You need SmartTrip cards. You can buy on Apple Pay Wallet by pressing plus and then transit. $2 card plus about $5 each way (prices are available on the machine at the station). We bought physical cards but might be worth getting digital one next time to save money for future trips.
- Parking free on weekends at train station in college park
- We got free breakfast by asking the front desk, it isn’t normally included. They had good options for us.
