For our first real vacation as a family of four, we spent four days in our nation's capital!
Day 1: Monuments and the White House
We didn't get very close to the actual White House, but we did see the famous vegetable garden, and its beehives. I was impressed and moved by the WWII Memorial.
Day 2: The Air and Space Museum, with a quick swing through the Hirshhorn
Surprisingly, the highlight turned out to be seeing an actual Mars rover. Jack got an astronaut keychain that he loves very much.
Day 3: The Natural History Museum
The dinosaur room made the whole trip worthwhile, if you ask me.
Day 4: The Botanical Gardens, and The National Gallery
The Botanical Gardens were a last-minute addition to the itinerary, but turned out to be great fun.
We stayed in Maryland, so every day there was an adventure riding the Metro, a trek to find the right spot for dinner, and finally an evening dip in the hotel pool (assuming Jack could stay awake through dinner-- one night he fell asleep in his chicken fingers.)
