Driving: The Classic Road Trip
Buckle Up, Buttercup!
If you're the kind of person who enjoys the open road and the freedom to stop for questionable roadside attractions (we're not judging), driving might be your jam. It's a relatively straightforward journey, with highways that are generally in good condition. Just remember, traffic can be a beast, especially during rush hour. You know the drill - avoid those times like the plague unless you enjoy slow-motion car karaoke.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
Pro Tip: Consider using a GPS or navigation app to avoid getting lost. We don't want you ending up in Delaware by accident.
Public Transportation: For the Eco-Conscious and Budget-Friendly
Train, Plane, or Automobile... Nah, Just Train
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
If you're looking to go green (or save green), public transportation is a viable option. The train is generally the most convenient and comfortable choice. You can relax, enjoy the scenery (or catch up on your favorite podcast) while someone else handles the driving.

Important Note: Check the train schedules before you go. Nothing's worse than missing your flight because the train decided to take a coffee break.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Ride-Sharing: The Modern-Day Taxi
Uber or Lyft: Your New Best Friends
For a more convenient and often cheaper alternative to taxis, consider using a ride-sharing service. You can book your ride in advance, track your driver's location, and pay with a tap of a button. Just make sure you have a strong cell signal, or you might find yourself stranded on the side of the road.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
Flying: Because Sometimes You Just Need a Break
Hold On Tight!
Okay, we know this sounds a bit absurd, but hear us out. If you're really pressed for time or simply want to avoid the hassle of ground transportation, you could technically fly from Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) to DCA. But let's be real, it's probably faster (and cheaper) to drive. This option is mainly for those who enjoy the thrill of the unexpected.
How to...
- How to avoid traffic? Plan your trip for off-peak hours or use real-time traffic updates.
