My extended Thanksgiving weekend had many outdoor adventures with Mick and his family.
 |
A hike around Lake Royal, a neighborhood park, on a bright and sunny day-after Thanksgiving.
We brought the football almost everywhere we went! |
 |
The Patowmack Canal around the Great Falls was inspired by George Washington
who envisioned a waterway connecting the East Coast to the Ohio River valley. |
 |
| The trail high above the river gorge below the Great Falls. |
 |
The Washington Monument is the perfect landmark to toss around a football,
as Christina plays catch with Maria and Anders.
|
 |
Anders stands tall at the Lincoln Memorial as an airplane lands
at Reagan International, creating an interesting illusion. |
 |
| Part of the WWII Memorial on the capitol mall. |
 |
| George Washigton slept here; it's Mt. Vernon afterall! |
 |
The view of the Potomac R. from the front porch of the residence at Mt. Vernon,
as Anders and Maria run just for the joy of it, as they often do where ever they go. |
 |
The headwaters of Pohick Creek, an intermittent stream in this area, is locally
known as Anders Creek,which flows through the Gleason's backyard.
Many adventures await! |
 |
| A game of two square at dusk. |
 |
| The new house is looking good! |

Sunset from the patio on my last evening in Virginia.
Thanks for all the fun, Gleason family! |
