Fuller Family Reunion 2023!

Dear members of the Fuller Family!
This is the Central Headquarters for our 2023 Family Reunion in Washington, D.C.
Some important information:

Where

Washington, D.C.

What you need to do!

  1. Arrange your transportation to D.C.

  3. Pay your registration fee.
  4. Fill out this registration form (it will help us with logistics).

Transportation
Nearby Airports: Dulles International Airport will be the closest to our hotel, but Reagan National Airport is another option. If you do the latter, you’ll have to drive, take public transportation or a shared ride to get to the hotel.
Nearby Bus and Train Station: Union Station, Washington, D.C.
Rental Car: You really don’t need to rent a car during the reunion. Parking isn’t that great in the city, especially at the attractions we’ll visit. We’ll be using bus shuttles and convenient public transportation, so it will be much less than renting a car. Another option is using a shared ride mobile phone application like Lyft or Uber, given the daily parking fee at the hotel.
