Back from Washington DC

Jan. 16th 2013

I left on Monday to go to Washington DC for a meeting with my current job. We stayed at the Gaylord National Event Center in National Harbor, Maryland. We also had our meeting there on Tuesday and Wednesday. I have to say this place is huge! You need a road map just to find your room! It was amazing with the beautiful interior atrium and all the interesting landscaping and yes, two townhouses!

While it was really beautiful, as a guest, you seemed to just get lost in the massive amounts of people that were there. The customer service was pretty good, if you ever got to see anyone. But I think after staying there, it reminded me how much I love the intimate atmosphere you get with a bed and breakfast. This was more like visiting Disney World.

Enjoy the Pictures!
