CCF is a proud supporter of the Second annual Shirley’s Kids Weekend. On July 25 and 26, 2015 nine families from The Children’s Inn were given the exciting opportunity to go on a weekend trip to The National Harbor. The weekend was a partnership between CCF and Giant. The Weekend provided an action-packed trip for Inn families–helping them to forget about the everyday burden of their children’s illnesses.
Day 1: Families started at The Inn and then picked up lunch at the Bethesda Giant Food, then headed to Washington National’s Park, where they got a personal tour of the park. After the tour, they checked-in at the Gaylord National Hotel and enjoyed free time to play in the pool and explore the National Harbor. In the evening, families had dinner at the Cadillac Ranch Restaurant, and had time to explore the area.
Day 2: Families embraced their inner pirate when they joined the Boomerang Pirate Ship crew in Washington, DC. After the boat cruise, they made their way to Pinstripes for bowling and lunch, then headed back to The Children’s Inn at NIH.
This second annual weekend included unique adventures and quality family time together, providing a much-needed fun and relaxing getaway for all family members.
