Hains Point, West Potomac Park, Washington, D.C.
I took a couple of days off to spend time with my brother and his kids while he was off for the week. Noni and Popi decided to join us. On Thursday we drove into DC. Our plan was to go to Hains Point to see the statue "The Awakening" and to watch the planes taking off and landing across the river at Reagan National Airport. Unfortunately, a developer bought and moved "The Awakening" last year. We still managed to enjoy our trip to the park. I took lots of pictures of airplanes, the kids got to play on the playground and we enjoyed a picnic lunch. On one side of the river we could see the planes and on the other side of us helicopters were taking off and landing. We were circled numerous times by a colorful and sweaty peloton.
