The trolley ride was so much fun!
One of our favorite stops on the trolley tour---Lincoln Memorial with the Washington Monument in the background of this photo
Waiting at a trolley stop
We really wanted the kids to be able to see all of the major 'tourist' spots in D.C. However they are all spread out and would require A LOT of walking. Luckily I found Old Town Trolley Tours website. They offer a wonderful narrated tour on open air trolleys! The tour starts at the Washington Welcome Center. There is a huge gift store here and you can purchase same day tickets here also. They also have a very nice restroom for customers to use. Trolley tickets cost $39/each for adults and $29 for kids ages 4-12 but you can find coupons usually. Also, food is allowed on the trolleys. We packed a cooler and let the kids eat lunch on the trolley. They loved this!
