TRAVEL TO MARYLAND:

Beautiful. Spectacular. Just two of the adjectives used to describe the highlight of our trip, Philadelphia’s Flower Show, which holds the title as the nation’s largest and longest-running horticultural event and features stunning displays by the world’s premier floral and landscape designers. Filled with multiple gardens and stunning sights, we begin this amazing trip with our first overnight in Maryland.

Day 3

UNITED STATES BOTANIC GARDEN • SIGHTSEEING IN DC • DINNER:

This morning we travel into Washington DC for a day of exploring! Located on the ground of the Capitol, the US Botanic Gardens is our first stop. Any time of year, we can see something beautiful in bloom at the gardens but visiting during the Spring provides a wealth of overwhelming beauty. From roses to orchids, rare and endangered plants to the latest in-home garden plants, we find a world of environments in the exhibits and indoor and outdoor gardens. We have lunch on our own then explore some of DC’s memorials and monuments. Grab your camera and snap some photos on our riding tour of our nation’s capital. We are treated to another included dinner tonight. (D)
