4 Reasons to Head to Gaylord National’s SummerFest
Traveling is always a good time. However, when you’re traveling to Gaylord National’s SummerFest, you know you’re going to have a great time. The National Harbor has a piece of “great” for family members of all ages! This summer is Gaylord National’s SummerFest. This annual tradition continues on!
SummerFest, presented by Aquafina®, will be running from May 24 through September 2. If you are looking for memories that will be discussed years later, this will be the event for your family. I have four reason you want to add Gaylord National’s SummerFest to your summer bucket list for travel or a staycation.
#1. Nightly Laser Shows and Endless Family Time
Just outside the District of Columbia, Gaylord National Resort is located in the area’s beloved National Harbor. This is home to Maryland’s signature waterfront community and it’s safe to say that there is a ton for families to do in the area. From nightly laser shows to scavenger hunts, families enjoy time together each day at Gaylord National. Let’s not forget about the resort’s junior Olympic-size pool and splash pad. Mom and dad can regroup while the kids are distracted with laughs!
#2. Independence week Block Party Bash
Another reason to hit up SummerFest is because of the Independence week Block Party Bash. This bash runs from July 2nd until July 6th. During this time period, families can enjoy SummerFest activities all week. Don’t forget you can also participate in trivia nights at National Pastime Sports Bar & Grill, a kids craft corner, games, and more. Celebrate the birth of our Nation with your red, white and blue attire. There is no better place to be, than in the capital area of Washington, D.C., during this week!
#3. Check out Relâche Spa
PARENTS! You’ll want to jump in the chance to check out Relâche Spa, especially during Gaylord National’s SummerFest. You can get a seasonal massage, facial, and pedicure. This full-spa experience is something you won’t want to miss out on. Especially after all those family outings you’re going to experience. Did you know Relâche means “to take a break” in French? I have been fortunate to try some of their express services and let me tell you, it was a heavenly break from five kids! If you pick up a resort package, a $50 credit will give you every excuse to take a break in this spa – Bye kids!
#4. Gaylord National’s Resort Package
