Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, this Thanksgiving was different. Fortunately though, we got a visit from Mary Anne’s brother  Joe on Thanksgiving day. The original game plan was for the three of us to take a ride over to Great Falls National Park in McLean and hike around a bit. 

It turns out that we weren’t the only ones with that idea. It seems that pretty much everyone in Northern Virginia had the same thought. The line of cars to get into the parking lot was so long that we abandoned that plan and headed over to River Bend National Park, which also runs alongside the Potomac River.

There we had a chance to look over the Potomac, and take a walk on one of the trails in the woods and catch up. Later, we went to Lake Anne and looked around, before ultimately heading back to Reston Town Center for a not-so-traditional, but delicious, Thanksgiving dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse. 

Some photos from our walk and a Kayaker on the Potomac are posted here. 

Thanks to Joe for stopping by on Thanksgiving.
