Washington DC Day 1

So we just got back from a Family Trip over Spring Break to DC. We had so much fun! So Tuesday was the day we left. We had a later flight...it wasn't until about 12:50. We were able to take it slow that morning packing and getting ready which was nice. The kids were up early though and ready to go! We left about 10 so we could grab an early lunch before getting on the plane. Our flight went well...we arrived in DC a little later than expected though. By the time we got to the hotel it was after 5. We got checked in and put our stuff in the room and freshened up a bit and set out to find dinner. Luckily there was a Shake Shack near our hotel. I think we were all starving and we all enjoyed the meal! After that we knew we wanted to go explore a bit. Our original plan was to go see the monuments that night. Well we had contemplated a HOP on HOP off tour but we discovered how costly that would be that we decided to just walk. We got on the Subway and got off near downtown. We walked a LONG way. We were able to get glimpses though of the Capital Building and White House though which were cool. The only monument we saw though was the Washington Monument. Oh but we also got our first glimpses of cherry blossoms and Lindsay was in love! They were so beautiful! By the time we got there it was getting cold and it was starting to rain. We made it back to the hotel room and we were all ready to crash that evening! It was a great first day though and the kids got to see what Washington was all about!
