Vote Yes to a Washington, D.C., Vacation

A few months back, my wife and I took our kids to Washington, D.C. for three days. It was a wonderful whirlwind of history, learning and fun. Here are a few things we learned about visiting our nation’s capital with a 10- and 8-year-old.

Find a Kid-Friendly Place to Stay

After multiple online searches, we found a great deal at the Omni Shoreham. Advantages included close proximity to a Metro subway station and it was a short walk from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. The kids were greeted with free welcome packs at check-in that included cards and games, and complimentary milk and cookies delivered to the room before bed on our first night’s stay. Wherever you choose to stay, make sure you are close to the Metro. SmartTrip cards make getting around easy.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
