The Washington D.C. area seems to have an amazing amount of events to celebrate Easter. I love all the photos events and even with the pets. It would be awesome to get a photo of my dog with the Easter Bunny. Thanks for sharing all these events.
Boho Chic (@TotallyTerris) says
I need to move there, seriously. There’s nothing around here for the kids to do on Easter. We have to make our own fun. They’d love going to any of these places.
Jen T says
There are so many opportunities to celebrate Easter! I like that they have taken the time to provide an environment for special needs children. What a fun holiday for kids!
toastycritic says
This is great information for the area. I will definitely have to think about some places today to take my daughter for egg hunts. She won’t be able to do them many more times. :/

These all look like so much fun. We usually stick close to home for EAster but it could be really fun to do a traveling EAster some time.

We didn’t do anything extra special for Easter. We only went to church and that was it. It’s nice to see a lot of events available though.

I would love to come to Washington for Easter. It looks like they have a lot of things prepared! This is really nice.
