• The bus will have a restroom on board.

• Please bring snacks & drinks for the day, in the past, there are no snacks for sale on the lawn of the Mall or near the Lincoln Memorial. You will have time to walk to restaurants around the Whitehouse and Capital Building. The museums have food, but as you can imagine, that food is quite expensive.
• There is plenty of room for folding chairs and signs on the bus. (No signs SEE info kit –> http://media.glennbeck.com/828/828kit.pdf )
• There will be time to visit a museum or two. 🙂
