I went for my first training walk yesterday - 6 miles along the Potomac. One of the great things about living in this area is that in just going for a walk I did so much sightseeing.
The Mount Vernon Trail winds along the bank of the Potomac River. I chose to walk along the portion closest to DC because it is close to my home and has free parking (always a blessing around here!). I was able to watch airplanes taking off from DCA (the park is at the end of the runway) and saw plenty of chipmunks (which we all know will never cease to make me giddy). Here are a few photos from my first training walk:
The Washington Monument
What a beautiful walking trail. Surely my degree in parks is the reason I took pictures of the walking trails...
Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.
They are a little hard to see in this photo, but I stopped to watch this cute family of geese- there were eleven babies!
