Off the beaten path

Chad and I both had Columbus Day off so, after the appliance pick-ups and deliveries, we took Lucy to Teddy Roosevelt Island, a literal island in the middle of the Potomac that is a national park.

Neither of us had been and it seemed like as good of an idea as any for a beautiful afternoon. Plus, it was about ten minutes away and free...you can't beat that.

The trail through the woods was really peaceful. We didn't pass many people and it was incredibly quiet considering it's near just about everything. There were several times while we were walking around that I thought it smelled and looked and sounded just like home. And it was quite a bit like home. It just cost a lot less to get there!

Taking a dip in the Potomac (this seemed like a good idea at the time but Lucy has been sick all week and I'm pretty sure this is why)

On the nature trail, appeasing me as I make them pose for a picture
