Directions:

 

Take the Metro to Clarendon on the Orange Line.

Once out the turnstiles, find the elevator on the left just outside of the
turnstiles.

As you exit the elevator on the street level, , Wilson Boulevard is on your
left.

Go behind the elevator about 100 feet and cross Wilson Boulevard at the
light.

You are now at the corner of Hudson Street and Wilson. There is a CVS at
that corner with an automatic door.

Keep walking on Hudson Street for 3blocks. For good sidewalks, I recommend
walking on the right side of the street for the first two blocks and the
left side of the street for the third  block.

At the end of the third block, cross the street,, turn left and walk 20 feet
and turn right onto Jackson Street.

Our house is the first house on the right just after my neighbor's driveway.
