This October, we made a long weekend trip to Washington D.C. We've been there before for New Years (read more about that trip here), and in the spring to see the Cherry Blossoms, but by far, fall was my favorite time of year to visit! The leaves were changing and the weather was mild and perfect for touring the city. We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel (thanks to hubby's company getting us a corporate rate we only paid $160 a night for a $600 a night room- now that's what I call a Jet Set deal!)... and as you can imagine the stay was perfect! The hotel is beyond beautiful with top notch service, and Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay of Food Network was staying there as well so Rich got to snap a picture with him! All in all, it was a great trip...we ate a lot of yummy food, checked out the monuments and some museums (all free to do by the way- again, that's what I call a Jet Set deal!), and made fun family memories that will last a lifetime!
