Time to see the Cherry Blossoms<br />
by Jo Schmeiser, Chamber of Commerce for Greater <strong>Milford</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Chamber of Commerce for Great <strong>Milford</strong> and<br />
Jor-Lin Tour & Charter are planning upcoming bus<br />
trips.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first trip planned is to see the beautiful Cherry<br />
Blossoms in Washington DC. <strong>The</strong> bus will be leaving<br />
<strong>Milford</strong> at 8:00 a.m., Saturday April 2, 2011. <strong>The</strong> cost<br />
of the trip is only $20.00 per person for CCGM Members.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost for a non-member is $25.00. <strong>The</strong> bus<br />
will drop off, and pick up, by the Smithsonian Institute<br />
Museums. In addition to the several Smithsonian Museums,<br />
you can visit many other historical landmarks at<br />
“National Mall”, which is better known as our “Nations<br />
Front Yard”.<br />
Several sites are within walking distance including the<br />
Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln &<br />
Jefferson Memorials and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial<br />
Wall. You can check out the Reflecting Pool, where<br />
Forrest Gump ran to see Jenny, however I wouldn’t suggest<br />
running through it like Forrest did. Most museums<br />
and sights are free, so you don’t have to worry about<br />
spending a lot of money. <strong>The</strong> afternoon pick-up time is<br />
3:00 p.m. <strong>The</strong> bus driver will then take a driving tour<br />
to see all the sights that are not within walking distance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bus should be back in <strong>Milford</strong> around 6:00 p.m.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bus will leave <strong>Milford</strong> at 7:00 a.m. and will be<br />
dropping everyone off at Rockefeller Center, to be<br />
picked up at the same place at 5:00 p.m. <strong>The</strong>re will be<br />
one stop on the way home for those who wish to get dinner<br />
out of the city.<strong>The</strong>re are several things to do around<br />
the drop off area, including visiting Times Square, the<br />
Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and several<br />
museums. <strong>The</strong> cost is $40.00 for CCGM Members<br />
and $45.00 for non-members.<br />
Both buses have limited seating, so reserve your<br />
space(s) quickly before they’re all taken.<br />
Area maps will be provided, as well as movies for the<br />
ride home. Food and beverages are allowed on the bus.<br />
Jor-Lin says, “Ride the bus, the gas is on us!” With<br />
the cost of gas prices these days why not let the professionals<br />
drive you there You don’t have to worry about<br />
parking either, with Jor-Lin Tour & Charter.<br />
For more information or to reserve your seat, call the<br />
chamber at 422.3344, stop in the chamber at 5 S. Washington<br />
Street or send an email request to milford@milfordchamber.com.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next trip is set for Saturday June 25, 2011. This<br />
bus is heading to the Big Apple.
