Need Tickets for Concerts, Theatre or Sporting Events ?

Tip - When traveling bring a GPS it's easier than GPS on the phone.

New Hampshire to Washingto DC

We booked our trip about 5 days before we left. it can be a hit or miss when doing so.
Tip - However I find when booking through Southwest Airlines booking in advance tends to
 get the better price. By booking in advance can save you hundreds of dollars .

   TIP - 1 person in our party pays for advanced seating. Roughly $
   This enables us to have someone get on first and saves us seats together.

Day 1 

   ( The flight from N.H. is a fast trip and takes aprox 1 hour and 20 minutes. )

We rented a car from Enterprise for the 6 days. Depending where you want to go
 I would suggest to rent a car. Some hotels will offer shuttles but,
 they may not be convient for you and a car is easier.

After arriving at the -

Marriot
Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington,
DC/New York  Avenue 
2305 New York Avenue NE ·
Washington, District Of Columbia 20002
USA  Telephone Number 1-202-266-3000

We were surprised to be upgraded to a King Studio Suite - VERY NICE!
It was a treat to have 2 rooms plus a bathroom.
This room has a lot of ementies to many to list.

Plus a indoor heated pool, jacuzzi and a free hot breakfast daily.

 
Tip - When traveling we always stop at a store and buy some water and 
         snacks to keep in the car and hotel. If needed we buy a disposable cooler.


After checking in our hotel we drove to the

Roughly 30 minutes away from our hotel in DC.

I believe it is a must see and a great experience for all ages.
The audio tour for kids is fun facts kids and adults would find interesting.
This is a spend the whole day trip.

Tip - Bring a cooler with sandwiches, sodas, water etc.

That evening we searched on our GPS for a Olive Garden.
 We did find one near by and knew we could not go wrong always the best food.
If we did not have the car there is of course deliver service from various restarants near by.
