And we're off!!
Our flight from Heathrow to Washington Dulles was not until 4.30 this afternoon, so it was a bit weird having a lazy start, we usually go on the morning flight to Orlando. We had breakfast and finished packing before setting off just after 12.15.
We had arranged for Purple Parking Meet and Greet and this was very easy, just park the car in one of the allocated spaces and walk through to the desk to leave the keys.
Because we had done online check in last night, it was a quick and easy process to drop off the cases. Through security and then relax before boarding.
Flight was on time and went quite quickly. On-demand entertainment kept everyone busy.
On arrival at Dulles immigration and bag collection was quick but there was a massive queue at security!
Eventually we made our way out and followed the signs for ground transportation. The Washington Flyer Taxi was easy to find and we were soon on our way towards the city, the driver pointing out the Lincoln Memorial and White House as we went past.
Our hotel was The Hamilton Crowne Plaza (free on Keith IHG points). Lovely hotel, not too large and beautifully furnished. The boys had a front corner room on the 9th floor and Sarah and I had a 7th floor room.

| Girls room! What is it with all the cushions on the bed! filled the floor every night just to get into bed! |
It had been a long day and we decided to get to bed ready for what would probably be an early start tomorrow.
