We’ve been reading about ancient China, so had to make a quick stop at @freersackler galleries to see the Empresses of China exhibit before it closes on June 23. The exhibition showcases many pieces never before shown outside of China! Side note: many of the kids books we’ve read have been about the history of silk, the production of which was a closely held secret in China for *thousands* of years. 🤯 I would totally watch a @netflix series about the intrigues of keeping such an immense practice a secret for so long! We got to see many empresses’ beautiful silk robes today and my appreciation was truly heightened by knowing more of the history behind the fabric. 😍😍😍 . What a gift to live in a city with such incredible opportunities, all for free! . . . #freer #sackler #familytravelblogger #visitwashingtondc #visitdc #familytravel #museum #smithsonianmuseum #travel #china #empressofchina #art #asianartmuseum #travels #travelblogger #alwayslearning #explore #lovewhereyoulive #dc #traveler #artappreciation #ancientchina #homeschoolingontheroad #homeschooledkids #worldschool

When your kids are the *perfect* age for wolf ears & waterparks @greatwolflodge 😍😍😍 The adults were pretty happy with the drinks by the pool situation. 🤣 This was such a fun hotel and such an easy road trip from #washingtondc that our kids are hoping we’ll be back again soon. ☀️☀️☀️ . . . #familytravelblogger #greatwolflodge #hotel #familytravel #familytravelling #travelwithkids #waterpark #summerfun #getaway #vacation #travel #travels #adventurewithkids #bringthekids #raisingtravelers #dmv #virginia #williamsburgva #explore #lovewhereyoulive

If you guessed @buschgardensva was the getaway from our last photo, 🎉🎉🎉 you were right! It was so much fun! I was worried there might not be enough for our kids to do, but I was wrong. It was such a surreal experience to watch them on rides all by themselves. Where does the time go?!?! . . . #familytravelblogger #travel #travels #adventurewithkids #travelwithkids #explore #buschgardenswilliamsburg #buschgardens #rides #summer #amusementpark #familyfun #family #dmv #hotalready #williamsburg #flyinghigh

My better half had a few unexpected days off last week so we took the kids on a quick, close by #getaway from DC. Any guesses where we went?! . . . #dcbig #familytravelblogger #visitwashingtondc #visitdc #travel #travels #travelblogger #travelling #dmv #travelwithkids #adventurewithkids #adventurefamily #igtravel #havekidswilltravel #roadtrip #travelkids #instatravel

First family camping trip in the books! No bears ate us in the middle of the night which was a big concern for one of us (full disclosure: it was me 🤣) 🐻🌲🌳🐾 Our summer goal is to spend as much time outdoors as possible! What’s your favorite park/hike/camping spot in the DMV? . . . #dcbig #familytravelblogger #visitwashingtondc #visitdc #travel #travels #explorewithkids #outdoorswithkids #getoutside #camping #campingwithkids #familycamping #forest #green #trees #nature

Two museums for the price of one (free! 🤣) We’ve been steadily checking off all the @smithsonian museums in DC, so it was an awesome discovery that the Portrait Gallery & American Art museums are two halves of the same building. The sculptures in the modern art hall are my favorites 😍😍😍 Just jotting down some inspiration for my future sculpture garden. 😉 . . . #futuresculpturegarden #dcbig #familytravelblogger #visitwashingtondc #visitdc #travel #travels #traveler #exploredc #explore #walkwithlocals #adventurekids #kidswhotravel #takeyourkidseverywhere #littleglobetrotter #explorerkids
