<\/p>\n

A well-situated boutique hotel is Viceroy Washington DC, located in Logan Circle and only about a mile from popular attractions such as the White House<\/a>, the National Mall and many museums. <\/p>\n

Its onsite restaurant Dovetail offers a terrific weekend brunch, plus a variety of dinner choices and a bar to wind down in after a day of exploring. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Among the choices to visit: the Smithsonian National Zoo, the National Gallery of Art, the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum, the Washington Monument and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The museum is free<\/a>, but tickets for scheduled times can be accessed on the website. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While in Miami<\/a>, be sure to plan a dinner at CRUST for award-winning chicken Parmesan and pizza; bar hopping in Brickell City Centre is another popular choice.<\/p>\n
Even if you\u2019ve been to Miami before, it\u2019s never the same trip twice, so you can create a new itinerary for each visit. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you prefer a location in the Miami region removed from the bustling Miami Beach scene, then the new Loews Coral Gables Hotel may be the place to stay. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another fun idea is the Sail, Paddle & Snorkel at Biscayne National Park, a full-day sailboat trip to see dolphins, rays and sea turtles<\/a>. Your captain is a member of the Biscayne National Park Institute staff \u2014 who will share the park\u2019s rich history with your family.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Later in the evening, be sure to visit Twelve Thirty Supper Club on Broadway Street, making reservations at least a month in advance, if you can. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ambiance is cool, the food and service are top-notch and the live performers will keep you entertained while you dine. There\u2019s also a rooftop bar for another level of fun. <\/p>\n
