No Children (under 13) and No Pets Please

CAR / UBER TRANSPORTATION IS NECESSARY
Please don’t be deceived by the close proximity on maps; while I am minutes/.2 miles literally in the backyard of National Harbor—a gated community, there is no rear access point; so, depending on where at the Harbor you’re going, you must drive (3-8 minutes) the long way around; so, car/Uber Transportation is necessary.
Parking / TranspOrtation
Free Parking—You may park up in (never along) the driveway. Street parking is available; though, please do NOT block driveways nor mailboxes. As my home is located in Oxon Hill, MD, a suburb of Washington DC (20 minutes from downtown), car transportation is recommended; however, alternative transportation (Rideshare (Uber/Lyft), taxi, shuttle, sedan, limo, Metro train/bus, etc.) is accessible.
