We had breakfast in the hotel but we only just made it down in time as they started clearing everything away 30mins early. Still we managed to get what we wanted. Had my first bowl of fruit loops on this holiday!
As soon as we were ready we gathered up all of our cases and stacked them in the car. We had worked out a good system for this now.
The hotel had served us well for the 5 night we were there, the rooms were very cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed talking to the staff about our travels and our trip to Wrestlemania.
After checking out of the hotel we found a gas station to fill up on fuel for the next leg of our journey.
It was a 2.5 hour journey down to Washington DC. We drove down through Baltimore and were able to see the bridge that had collapsed a few weeks earlier.
We stopped at a Starbucks halfway and had a nice caramel frappachino.
The traffic getting in to Washington was very smooth and we arrived at the hotel around 3.30
We had a nice suite at the Sonesta ES suites hotel near to Dulles airport, perfect for a 2 night stay. I tried to do some washing in the guest laundry but the washing machines were always full and being used by other guests. We reckoned there were people living in these suites as some had plants outside their rooms and washing hanging up in their living areas.
After chilling out for the rest of the afternoon we decided to go to a Vietnamese restaurant which had fantastic reviews and was only 5 minutes down the road. We had a lovely meal here. Sam had a cocktail whilst Jill and I had a massive beer each much to our surprise when it arrived. For the meal we had pad Thai, spring rolls, grilled chicken skewers and much more, however it was quite light so we didn't feel bloated.
After this we returned to the hotel before planning our sightseeing day in Washington DC tomorrow
