We got to spend 4th of July weekend in Washington D.C. this year.
It's a place we've wanted to take the kids for a long time, but thought
we should wait until they were all old enough to remember it later. (My
kids have been to Oregon and Texas and parts of New York that they
have no memories of anymore because they were simply too little to retain
enough of it. We'll have to arrange a do over for much of that.) We were there specifically for a cousin's wedding, but took the opportunity to have fun in a new place together and explore a bit.
Washington
D.C. is a marvelous city. It certainly helps as part of a family
vacation that so many of the museums and monuments are free to the
public. We even managed to find free parking for every visit to the
Mall. The weather mostly cooperated; it never got too hot, and what
rain we had didn't interfere with any plans. On top of it all we got to
spend time with both family and friends and the whole trip was great.
