whitsmom Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hubby has a 2-day conference in February 2019 at the Hard Rock Resort & Casino in Punta Cana so we decided this weekend to turn it into a work/vacation combo and stay 7 nights. It is an All Inclusive so it is a cruise without the ship. We are taking a mini (5 day) land vacation for fall break this October going with our daughter and family to Washington DC. My daughter has connections and we will be having a private tour of the White House, Supreme Court, FBI headquarters (had to get cleared for this one), National Cathedral, and another place or two (I can't keep it all straight). May need to find something for the summer too since our next cruise isn't until November 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's All Inclusive doesn't make it a "cruise" as for it to be a "cruise" you need a "ship". It's just an All Inclusive hotel. henrysea13, whitsmom, mworkman and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather be on a cruise; however, work will be paying for this trip so I am going to enjoy it even more!! ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it so much. I love work paying for the super fancy (READ: I can't afford on my own READ FURTHER: I may be too cheap) hotels and meals. I'm sure your daughter knows where to eat but if you want any recommendations let me know. DC restaurants are amazing. People there love their food and cocktails.

My daughter has never been either - but she is friends with a Congressman. Please let me know what are some of the amazing restaurants! Our two youngest Granddaughters (12 & 10) are going also and they absolutely cannot wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 http://www.thehamiltondc.com/ We go here multiple times, sometimes per day, when we're here. It's crazy busy at times. We've also gone late night after our work was done. We've gone here for lunch, brunch, dinner and late night meals. You can get a hamburger....or a fancy meal....or sushi. http://woodwardtable.com/ Meh service. Best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Creative take on brunch standards. https://www.chaplinsdc.com/ Best Ramen place I've ever been to. Ever. I work in NYC and have access to a lot. We went here for dinner at 10pm after work. Still had to wait. Worth it. If I can remember any other places I'll let you know. These are the standouts from the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have available nearby is a small place in the local mall and a Mr. Ramen (same chain owners as Mr. Sushi and Cowboy Wings). Used to have a great place in Jersey City when I'd have to visit that office once a month, but they closed down. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
