We rented a car for the weekend since we have been having some issues with our own car. The Prius turned out to be a good deal because we traveled to DC and back on one tank of gas. And it only cost $25 to refill the tank.
We arrived in Northern VA late afternoon and headed to the local IKEA (I had a wish list of items that I was looking for) and Marc and I wanted some of the swedish meatballs. lol
Imagine our surprise when we found out they had a buffet special going on and that they were giving out a special Fathers Day gift as a giveaway. Even more surprising was finding out that Marc had one the prize. LOL
After we left the IKEA we picked up some water from a nearby Sams Club and then headed towards our hotel. We made a stop at the local Container Store (another favorite of mine that is not in my area).
It was not until the next day that we realized our hotel was directly across from the Container Store. LOL
Not sure how the days got out of order! Here is the start of Day 2 which includes a review on the Embassy Suites (our first time staying at one). The drive through Georgetown. Highlights of the National Cathedral, and my favorite part the Bishop Garden. I have a small Anniversary Haul up on my PW Life blog! I actually thought we were done traveling for this year especially since we have a wedding coming up next year..but next month we travel to PA with some of the church members to see the play Jospeh at the Sight and Sound Museum. After several failed attempts to get Marc to one of the plays we may finally succeed!!!
