We decided it would be fun to use some of our Wyndham points to take a family trip to DC. We had stayed at a resort at National Harbor for the Energi Summit and we have a Wyndham property there, too.
We went down with the intention of seeing things like the Smithsonian museums, but the ride down was pretty tough for Lorelei on the car. We thought the museums might not be our best bet. So we changed our minds and decided to visit the National Zoo and Downtown Alexandria. Jimmie is a big trolley and bus guy so we thought the free trolley that ran in Alexandria would be so cool for him. But when we caught the bus to go over for the day, we realized that he was terrified of the air brakes on the bus. We almost didn't get him on it. After talking to him a lot, we were able to talk him into a short trolley ride, but we did a lot of walking instead.
The next day we went to the zoo which is actually part of the Smithsonian. I can't believe we have never been there since it is free and everything. GREAT ZOO!! It was a little warm, but there were lots of trees and a little breeze. We loved it. A really fun trip!! Here are some photos.
The National Harbor Capital Wheel- We took a night ride on it with all the kids. Had a blast!!
Our friend, Mrs. Panda. I think she was probably our favorite!!
I can't remember the names of all of these guys....but here is a sample.
Em and Evan also found some time for ping pong. A nice relaxing break!!
