National Harbor

My brother Alex flew in to visit on April 10th. We decided to check out National Harbor. They have been building the area up a lot and since I had been there last they had a new playground and carousel and are almost finished with the Capitol Wheel which looks awesome. It is supposed to be done in May and you will be able to see a lot of the main DC sites. 

 And no surprise, Brooklyn loved the peeps store. 

 We went to the Gaylord hotel and then walked around the harbor and they had lots of beautiful cherry blossoms without the crazy DC crowd. 

We brought a picnic lunch and went to the kid area. It only cost $5 for Brooklyn to go in and she was able to play on the playground and ride the carousel as many times as she wanted. 

We had to head back to pick up Laneah from school but it was such a great choice to go there and a wonderful surprise to see the cherry blossoms.
