Sundays are great days for family walks. We don't have church until 3 in the afternoon (not our favorite time), and Malcolm needs walks everyday, so Sunday mornings are perfect for the three of us to head out and enjoy some fresh air. Blake and I use some of the time for our weekly family business meetings - schedules and other things on the horizon.
This last Sunday, we had a stake conference (a meeting of several congregations together) and were done with church at noon. With the afternoon free and the weather surprisingly warm for November, we took a walk we've had our eyes on for months - crossing the Potomac to Maryland via the Woodrow Wilson bridge.
We started at Jones Point Park in Old Town Alexandria, site of an original DC boundary stone, and headed out.
We could have walked all the way down into National Harbor in Maryland, and sometime we will. Still, it was a good 4.5 miles round trip, which is about average for us these days.

Hooray for historical and interesting family walks!

Sometimes, Orem is REALLY boring. I need to check out some walks elsewhere, though, and make a plan and follow through.
Sometimes Rita Ranch is REALLY boring. Or hot. You'll have to take us on all the best walks when we make it out your way one of these days.
Heidi and Giggles, I will happily take you on walks around here! Heidi - we'll try to find something good when we visit with Malcolm next month!
