We saw some of the most recognizable monuments from a different angle than usual...
A monument we had never seen before (the Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial)...
Beautiful willow trees...
National Airport...
And boats, as we approached Alexandria.
We had what we thought was a well-deserved dinner in old town Alexandria and then took Metro back home. An advantage to not using a car for these sorts of activities is that you don't have to return to your starting point--you can just go directly home when you feel like it. When we got back to Silver Spring, we saw this wonderful shark display in honor of Shark Week.
It's much hotter this weekend, so I'm glad we took advantage of the unseasonably cool temperatures last weekend. I love going on long walks, but I think from here on out, our walks may have to be shorter (or incorporate lots of cold drink breaks) until fall.
