We spent April vacation in Washington, DC.  We drove down on Friday (took us 9 HOURS...)  We stayed at the Wyndham National Harbor, a beautiful place to stay.  There was a complimentary shuttle from National Harbor to the King Street metro station in Alexandria/Old Town.  Here's some pictures from our Saturday in Old Town/Alexandria.

Christopher rented a bike to ride around and have some independence.  Rich and I walked around, visited some shops, went through an art gallery, sat at the water and people watched.  Patrice and Christine arrived later afternoon and we did some more walking around and visiting.  We saw a couple brides and grooms, one group was having their reception on this boat:

it looked so cool.  We had taken the shuttle from National Harbor to the King Street Metro.  From there we took the Old Town Trolley down to the waterfront - that was so cool!  Christine had her brand new car(!) and drove us back to the condo at National Harbor.  Patrice and Christine spent the night with us on Saturday - we went to dinner at Cadillac Ranch.  It was delicious!  We went back to the condo and hung out for a bit and went to bed, we had a busy day planned for Sunday!
