This had to be the most beautiful weekend in Washington. The cherry blossoms were amazing and the weather was perfect.

We stayed at the Sheraton National in Arlington and it was a great place to stay. A shuttle to Pentagon Mall and places to eat and to the metro.

Arlington Cemetery moved us to tears - the Kennedy family sites, Challenger, Tomb of the Unknown and changing of the guard.

We got hop on-hop off tickets with the national park shuttle and they do an excellent job. I would highly recommend them to anyone new to Washington or anyone going a busy time like we did. They do a great job explaining all the history and sites and the ride through Arlington was very nice.

we took a night dinner cruise on the Spirit of Washington which was expensive and very disappointing. I would not recommend it.

Had a great time and can't wait to go back (at a time not as crowded). And next time we are taking Amtrak and only using Metro. We never did find the zoo - our last stop on the way out of town.

Have a great spring everyone
