All most Friday again time is flulying have a good weekend thanks for sharing cracking job u legend 👍

[@SantosChronicles]

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend also.

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Haven't been to DC, but it's on my to do list - So much to see there!

[@SantosChronicles]

Totally recommend it and almost everything is free - except the ice cream 🤣.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Looks like a fun trip to DC 🤩 but that ice cream 🍦 😱

[@SantosChronicles]

That ice cream is worth a lot of Cozy Dogs! Even with that we still had a blast.

[@Terry.W]

Looks like a great place well worth visiting...

[@SantosChronicles]

We really enjoyed it there. It was great that most places were free.

[@NickandRachel]

Next time we're in Virginia definitely want to visit! Thanks for giving us the tour! The cherry trees are really pretty!

[@SantosChronicles]

It's so fun and best part almost everything was free - except the ice cream. We lucked out that we timed it to the Cherry blossoms. You guys would do well walking around since you guys are conditioned.

[@melissatravels2023]

I’m glad you had so much fun with the girls!

[@SantosChronicles]

I was so nervous with Rosalie coming, but she did so good walking. At least next year you'll be able to join us.

[@melissatravels2023]

@@SantosChronicles next year will be San Diego!

[@BLBADVENTURES]

This is a prime brilliant like. Awesome video my friends. Like 27

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@gregsvlogshow]

I've see some pretty incredible photos of the trees around that area. DC I so cool with all those monuments. That's some EXPENSIVE ice cream but you know what, sometime you got to do it to live a little🍦 That was fun! Thank you, sir!

[@SantosChronicles]

I thought about making a scene but Rosalie was having a good time eating her ice cream - so I decided to take the high road. Glad I did because it made the rest of the trip fun and a very memorable incident for sure.

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog0627]

That's absolutely great and pretty awesome vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come brother

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for all the kind words. Family had a blast while we were at DC. Still so many more to see.

[@MusicMichelleDeGroot]

The cherry blossoms are so beautiful! I hope to go there one day to visit. And yeah, you can’t do anything when they give you the eyes! 😂. Have a great day 😊

[@SantosChronicles]

We really lucked out that we made it there during Cherry Blossoms. Rosalie has mastered the eyes. have a great weekend.

[@ExpeditionaryJonny]

The Cherry Blossoms are beautiful and reminds me of The Last Samurai. Really nice tour my friend. Hopefully, my wife & I will be heading out that way in a couple of years for a vacation. Thanks for sharing. This is helpful.

[@SantosChronicles]

You got it right. The Last Samurai was such a great movie! It's an amazing place for vacation and very affordable - especially since most of the places are free. Thank you so much for watching.

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

We can't wait to spend some more time in DC. Haven't really done much there. Good Spring Break choice!! Thanks for letting us come along for part of your trip. Thanks for the tips too! We appreciate it!

[@SantosChronicles]

We did a lot but there is still so much to see. It was an easy drive and loved how almost everything was free - except the ice cream of course.

[@virarhm6246]

Very nice sharing, have a great day with family 💕

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much for stopping by. One of our favorite trips for sure.

[@AndyandRachel]

Awwww I can see why you took your ADORABLE 5 year old with you!!! Good to know about the hotel parking. haha 1 mile/ .3 what's the difference??😆 Looks like Rosalee ending up doing awesome New subs here! Loving your upbeat vibe

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much. We just checked out your Hawaii video and that will come in handy since we are looking to go next year. Little Rosalie is hilarious and she was a trooper with all the walking. Hope you both have a great long weekend!

[@trvlnthru]

Thanks for sharing your DC tips with us. We gave up on driving and parking in the city. Metro trains and buses everywhere for us. Looks like yall covered a lot of ground though. That must have been exhausted. But it is good that you got to hit many of the highlights. And you were there when the cherry trees were in bloom! We were therejust shortly before yall when the trees were only starting to bloom. It was much less impressive. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@SantosChronicles]

Metro trains and busses seems like a much better strategy. I wish I filmed where I plugged a parking garage and it took me to a private one and had to back up out of it. Pretty stressful. Since it was the kids first time we made sure we hit the classics! How funny if we were there at the same time, but I would have no idea what you guys looked like 😂

[@JenniferandMark2014]

What a cool trip with your girls! Love those tourist prices. Yikes! 🤗Jenn

[@SantosChronicles]

Luckily everything else was free! But that was easily the most I spent on ice cream.

[@rupak-travelmoments]

It's a mind-blowing presentation of this magical city 👍 Greetings from India 🇮🇳

[@SantosChronicles]

It's such a great place. Thanks for watching.

[@PogiboyProductions]

You guys went the perfect time with the Cherry blossoms in full view! Glad you got to take the girls this time, always good to let them experience it! Yeah, I remember the traffic and parking woes when we visited lol.. but dang, that's the most expensive ice cream in the world lol.. we had shaved ice a little further from the monument and that was about $8 I think. The girls will definitely cherish these memories.

[@SantosChronicles]

I was surprised that it wasn't so busy. We did most of our sight seeing during the week so it helped. That traffic was so bad. I thought it was rush hour but ended up any time we left. The girls had a great time and still talk about the trip!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Looks like y’all picked the perfect time to go!

[@SantosChronicles]

The weather was great and it wasn't too busy since we went during the week.

[@bradandamy]

What a gorgeous time to go with all the cherry blossoms. Oh my gosh that ice cream price is ridiculous😳Lesson learned!

[@SantosChronicles]

We had no idea it was Cherry Blossoms till we were driving there! Easily the most expensive ice cream we have ever had. Most of DC is free - just not its ice cream.

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Rosalie got so used to traveling that she can't not stay home anymore! Good job daddy! Travel is life gotta take advantage of that whenever you can! You beat us to DC! I planning to see the capital one day!

[@SantosChronicles]

It’s great and best part is almost everything is free. Glad I finally got to take the kids here. And Rosalie did so great walking and not complaining.

[@DestinationEarth]

I’m glad I parked and walked everywhere when I was there. Looking forward to tshirt season! $49 for ice cream! Yikes! I don’t know why, but food and parking prices always irk me the wrong way, lol.

[@SantosChronicles]

That was a better approach. Little Rosalie's legs were limited on how much she can walk but she did way better than I expected. That is why she got the ice cream 😂. In Chicago, it was $69 for parking to see Joe Rogan.

[@DestinationEarth]

@@SantosChronicles That's wild. I don't think I could force myself to pay that much, lol. You're a braver man than me!

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Man, you guys are every where! LOL. You are just bouncing around. That is a blessing though. LIKE 25. 👍👍👍

[@SantosChronicles]

We go ta new SUV so there will be a lot more road trips. The first 2 weeks we put 5,400 miles on the car. We use to have a Sedan while driving around. So much easier with an SUV.

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Such great tips! Thank you! We might go when we are out that way and this was helpful. I loved the Neistat vibes in the beginning! Also, the sentimental value was so sweet 🥹. I’m glad you got to experience it with all your girls. So cute Rosalie wanted to go too. Jude does cat eyes to me too! He loves Puss and Boots 🤣. I especially appreciated the ice cream tip- Chris heard me say OMG all the way in the back of the RV 😂😂😂

[@SantosChronicles]

One of my favorite part of editing is taking inspiration from my favorite creators. I’m a sucker for Rosalie’s Puss and Boot eyes. DC is great and best part almost everything is free - except ice cream 😭

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

@@SantosChronicles haha the ice cream makes up for it 🤣🤣🤣

[@Just8Ate]

Yall know how to have a great family time 8)

[@SantosChronicles]

It was nice to get away for Spring Break. Too bad my sister's spring break didn't line up. She is a teacher.

[@DoodletheTravelBug]

This was my favorite one yet! I love that you put old clips from when you and Melissa were dating. I love that you’re laughing about the ice cream but we can tell you’re raging ion the inside😂. And whenever your girls are featured a lot, it’s a good video!

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much. I have been trying to experiment with different formats to see which one I like best and which others like the best also. Can't believe it was almost 10 years ago when Melissa and I went. I thought about making a scene but Rosalie was so happy to have ice cream (while licking it) that I didn't want to ruin the moment. I just need to figure out how to get the girls to be in the mood all the time.

[@DMSAdventures]

How did Rosalie do on the "Not complaining about walking" thing? The scale of all those monuments is impressive and don't come through in pictures! I have never been there either! Is Rosalie going to be a politician!? Great tips! Parking in cities gives me too much anxiety! Hahaha 0.3 miles = 1 mile. I tell you what though, at the end of Me and Mister's last backpacking trip we had only 0.2 miles from he end of the trailhead to a diner... and it felt like an eternity!!

[@SantosChronicles]

Rosalie did so well keeping up her end of the bargain and didn’t complain once. That’s the reason I wanted to reward her with ice cream - just didn’t know it would be a $50 ice cream. We saw all the famous ones but there was so many smaller monuments next to it but I didn’t want to push it with Rosalie with us. She is not conditioned with long hikes as your kids.

[@SorgiStories]

Puss & Boots! Wait, she decapitated the gummies? We are huge fans of park-and-rides and taking the DC Metro. It is CHEAP, particularly on weekends. Did you see any Honor Flights while you were in DC? My mom climbed the Washington Monument as a teenager. Unlike Spiderman, she took the stairs. Last time in DC, we did Chinatown. Cheaper to take a Metro from the Mall to Chinatown and get a meal than that ice cream. That view…so freaking majestic. YOU NAIL IT!

[@SantosChronicles]

DC was great and loved how almost everything was free - except for the $49.50 ice cream. Your mom is my hero, I can barely do stairs at State Parks. We still have a lot do and see like Honor flights. We saw most of the main attractions. But that Spy Museum is still calling my name.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

The White House is a beautiful piece of architecture and is Capital Hill. The blossom is gorgeous ❤ love the Washington Monument which offers great views from the top. Love Lincoln’s memorial, reminds me of the many temples I have seen in Europe. Yes l agree the Washington DC is easy to get around. We missed Roosevelt’s Memorial. Great job Carl, thank you for the tour ❤🙏🏽

[@SantosChronicles]

DC is one of my favorite and glad my 2 daughters were finally able to make it there. Glad they both had the appreciation of being there even though it was mostly buildings and structures. The architecture is so good.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

@@SantosChronicles absolutely agree with the Architecture being so good. The monuments are so grand.

[@ladybugmom10]

I’m curious how long it took you to see those four things.

[@SantosChronicles]

We spent a day walking around to see the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument. Which I would say was about 4 hours. It was great that it was the Cherry Festival Also. With having the little one, I tried to limit the days to 4-5 hours. It is a lot of walking. Parking is limited but we parked at a hotel by the White house and then just walked around. The Jefferson memorial was something we did another day because we had to drive there and find parking.

[@janisparr8592]

Hmmm - I say that $15 for ice cream could be a reasonable price! Depends on how badly you need it… 🍦😋

[@SantosChronicles]

Rosalie thought it was the best ice cream she has ever had! But that's the last $15 ice cream we'll be getting. We'll drive to Dairy Queen next time.

[@TheTolleRoad]

$50?!??!?! They got ya! 😂

[@SantosChronicles]

The guy was lucky that Rosalie was so happy and already licked the ice cream. Decided to take the high road and not ruin the moment. But yea, they got us.

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

$49 Ice Cream ?!?!!?

[@SantosChronicles]

I couldn’t believe either. But too late to say we don’t want it as the kids were already licking the ice cream. Lesson learned.

[@MikkiShihTzu]

$50 for 3 ice cream!?!?! Thats extortion!

[@SantosChronicles]

I know right. I was going to let the guys know how I felt but Rosalie loved the ice cream and was so happy I didn’t want to ruin the moment. Lesson learned.
