A Spring Break Trip To Washington DC
22.05.12
Your kids have been working hard the last six months at school and deserve a little fun and relaxation. Start planning your family Spring Break getaway now! My pick this year would be cool road trip to discover a little bit about our nation's capitol.
Now, they may hem and haw because your pick isn't a theme park or sandy beach, but the city has a variety of kid-friendly things to do and they'll hopefully pick up a few great nuggets for thought to take home.
To get there, you can consider the ultimate family road trip by car, however with the price of gas, you'll have to look for a good deal on a rental car or vacuum out the old family station wagon for one last ride! There are plenty of options to ride the rails either for a few hours or overnight - Amtrak has some great access from big cities and points in between. Or...keep scouring the web for last minute fares - most airlines fly to both airports! The city has excellent subway and bus service to get you almost anywhere in the city. A plethora of kid-friendly hotels in all price ranges, including several bed and breakfast homes, await you - some even within steps of the White House.
