Nature Adventure

Frank and I are not normally 'nature' people, but with our busy schedules, I'm slowly coming to realize how nice it is to just get outside and be away from our phones, computers, etc. We've lived in Northern Virginia for almost 10 years (yikes!) and have never (yes, I said never) gone to Great Falls Park which is about 20 minutes away from our house. On one Sunday in August, we had a few hours with nothing to do (in between church and Frank's 2:00 soccer scrimmage), so we decided to head to the Park and do a little 'hiking'. I use the term 'hiking' loosely because, by no means is Great Falls a strenuous hike (remember, it's 20 minutes from our house in Arlington); however, it was nice to get outside and walk along the Potomac River and enjoy the scenery. It was a gorgeous morning, and ever since, I've even started toying with the idea of camping (although Frank told me I'd better practice in our own back yard)...
