A BIG thanks to Marriott for sponsoring this post, so I could share our experience with you.
Are you dreaming of a getaway? Summer is almost here, and that means sunny days, long warm nights, and the joy and excitement our travels and adventures bring!
Actually… I just returned from a 2-week vacation with my family to Washington D.C. and the North Carolina Coast! We made so many fun memories, and loved every minute of it!
When you’re planning your summer family vacations, or romantic getaways… be sure to check out the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott! They’ve got locations all over the country, and some downright beautiful properties!
We started our trip off in Washington D.C., and stayed for 3 nights at the downtown Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott. It was seriously the perfect location ~ within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go!
If you’re heading to D.C., I highly recommend this gorgeous hotel… you’ll LOVE it!
The hotel was absolutely beautiful! Are you ready to take a little tour? The Fairfield Inn and Suites is located in the excitement and hustle-bustle of D.C.’s Chinatown. It is truly the perfect location for walking to all of D.C.’s main attractions!
Aren’t the newly remodeled rooms gorgeous? The bed was incredible, too… so soft and cozy! There was a nice office space in the room as well… the perfect little workstation for our laptops.
One of my favorite parts was the cozy pull-out couch. It made the room feel just like home during the day, and yet it was the perfect sleeping spot for the kids come night time!
The vibrant colors in the rooms and lobby brought a smile to my face each day! The entire property was clean and spotless, and the fun decor was just so cheerful!
Breakfast was definitely another highlight. We all worked up an appetite with all of that walking in D.C., so being spoiled with a delicious breakfast each morning was such a treat. Aren’t you just in love with this fun sliding barn-style door?
While we were there, my hubby and I were also both celebrating our birthdays. As you know, that meant our email accounts were being flooded with restaurant birthday freebies! We took advantage of the convenient hotel work station to print our coupons and were able to score some fun treats out and about in the city.
Now, remember how I said the Fairfield Inn & Suites was in walking distance to everything we wanted to see? Well, here are just a few of the places we walked to…
{the beautiful Friendship Arch… and why yes, yes… that is a Starbucks up on the corner there! We became close, close friends on this trip, thanks to jet lag & a 3-hour time change!}
{check out this good-lookin’ house! It was big… and white! hint, hint…} 😉
{I was just a girl out on the town!}
{Justin took a quick second to shift the Washington Monument over just a bit… my hubby’s sooooo strong!!}
{ooh ~ you’ll recognize this guy! hint… he was honest}
{don’t laugh at the shoes ~ I’m a flip flop girl, but for a day of walking, shoes it was! I can’t even begin to tell you how good it felt to sit for a minute!}
We ate two of our dinners… here! {YUM!}
{then one evening we drove over to see the Jefferson Memorial ~ so beautiful!}
Yep ~ it was an absolutely fabulous trip, and I’m so grateful that the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott provided us with such a lovely place to call home for these few days!
Now guess what ~ the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott would like to spoil YOU with a getaway of your very own!
