Katherine's home was very family friendly!! Traveling with a 12 year old boy he can sometimes be a bit much. The place was stocked with board games, books, toys and lots of room to play. There was even a small welcome gift in the refrigerator, some goldfish, fruit cup, small milk and a soda for us. Super sweet gesture! Katherine also held our bags after we checked out so we could finish our tourist trip before heading to the airport. If we go back to the DC area I would love to stay here again!
