Why the dates differ
In Washington DC: Shukla Navami 5:54 AM to 3:51 AM, 15 Apr; madhyahna 11:49 AM to 2:27 PM
In India (New Delhi): Shukla Navami 3:24 PM, 14 Apr to 1:21 PM; madhyahna 11:04 AM to 1:38 PM
Chaitra Shukla Navami that prevails during madhyahna (the middle fifth of the day), when Rama was born. If only the first day has it, the first day; if both days have it, or neither, the second day, because a Navami joined with Ashtami is avoided, even when the first day holds all of madhyahna (Dharmasindhu, Nirnayasindhu). Vaishnavas take the second day also when only the first has madhyahna, if Navami lasts three muhurtas after the second sunrise.
Each date follows its own rule. Neither is wrong.

About the festival
Ram Navami celebrates the birth of Rama, prince of Ayodhya, whom Vaishnava tradition honours as an avatar of Vishnu and families everywhere honour as the model of a just and truthful life. It is kept on the ninth tithi (Navami) of the bright half of Chaitra, in spring, and it usually falls on the last day of Chaitra Navratri.
