National Harbor - Something New

Last Sunday's glorious weather prompted my family and I in search of something new and fun to do...and we found it at National Harbor, located very close to Alexandria but across the border in Maryland. We had a blast enjoying the walk along the sandy walking trail, enjoyed shops, a multitude of restaurants and fantastic views of the water. There are several hotels if you want to overnight there including the famous Gaylord Resort and Conference Center. Be sure to walk into the atrium of the conference center which offers a tropical garden oasis, four restaurants, beautiful fountains and even a small Colonial Williamsburg gift store (which is totally up my alley). There are a number of events and cruises you can enjoy. Be sure to check out their website at www.NationalHarbor.com. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back in the summertime. Don't forget your camera!! There are lots of photo opportunities to take advantage of.
