My family spent a long weekend visiting our nation’s capitol…and even though it was a pretty short trip, spending time in DC is always a treat! Having in-laws living on Capitol Hill makes it easier for us to pop in for a short visit…spending time with family as well as taking in the vibrant city–from monuments and museums to the eclectic flair of common markets and street vendors! We’ve visited several times but this is the first trip that the boys really enjoyed the little everyday moments of being in the city! Walking to street fairs and playing ball in the park that’s nestled between brownstones, eateries, and capitol buildings are experiences very different to our everyday life at home! The consensus is that Washington is a place my boys would like to spend an entire summer…and I really can’t blame them! We barely scratched the surface this trip and the city didn’t fail to enamor us all once again!
