Looking to spend a family weekend in Washington DC?  Be sure to check out Ritz-Carlton’s incredible First Family package.

There’s a historic election coming up–and no matter who you plan on voting for, this is a great time to visit our nation’s capital.  There is a lot going on–and plenty of teaching opportunities.  The problem is that Washington DC can be a bit pricey.  Okay, a lot pricey.

Especially when you are traveling with your family, you want every dollar to stretch as far as possible.  And, you know, not stay at the No-tell Motel next door to the 24-hour Bail Bondsman underneath the freeway, if at all possible.

That’s why I love the Ritz-Carlton Washington DC’s first family package.  This is a deal that allows you to not only save during your trip to DC but relax at a luxury property while you do it.  Total win!  Starting at $339 per night, a family of four (two adults and two children) can get a fabulous deluxe Ritz-Carlton room as well as full American breakfast, complimentary in-room movie, complimentary Wi-fi and complimentary valet parking.  But that’s not all–your kids will love the gift of a patriotic-themed kids pack with a myriad of fun tchotchkes and in-house activities like a scavenger hunt. 

Chet, in particular, loved picking out a little “friend” from the red wagon behind the check-in desk when we tried out the package last month.  He also appreciated the beds in the room–he tells me they are particularly excellent for jumping.

The Ritz-Carlton’s Washington DC property is in a great location–all the sights are within a walk or Metro ride (the station is only a couple blocks away).  But the real reason to love staying at any Ritz-Carlton property is the service.  They are going to spoil both you and your kids rotten.  And you know what?  You totally deserve it.

So if a weekender to Washington DC is in your plans between now and the end of the year, be sure to check out the First Family Package and luxuriate in some great savings.  Presidents Washington and Lincoln would totally approve.
