Stop one, off to Washington's up and transformed South East DC to try the new pretzel bakery. It was packed and it was delicious. We tried everything - pretzels, hot dogs, breakfast sandwiches, a calzone and the cinnamon pretzel treats! Then we explored the nearby Eastern Market where we tried some local foods and bought some presents.
Next, we decided to head towards the malls and the monuments. We passed by the capital and decided to get out and check out the National Conservatory. It's a great time to of year for the blooming flowers and gardens. I got a lot of great pictures here and the kids enjoyed the little treasures in the garden.
After the gardens, we decided we would try to visit the space museum for a couple hours. The kids hadn't been there for a few years. We walked around for about an hour. Everyone was quite tired.
We decided to head home via Georgetown and have some dinner there .I found an Irish Pub I had always wanted to try. So we stopped for dinner and ended with some fancy cupcakes.
As we headed home and I pointed out the beautiful sunset, Clair says, "I don't want to go home. I want to stay here a bit longer." I asked her what else there was to do and she wasn't sure, she just didn't want the adventure to end. I explained it was already bedtime and she relaxed and enjoyed the ride home.
Clair only wished the day ended at a hotel. That was her goal! My girl likes to travel and explore. She has that from both David and me.
