Monday, September 17, was to be my grandson, Kirk's, 20th birthday. His parents visited him on the weekend; but because of work, they were unable to see him on his actual birthday. So Jim and I decided to see him and make a bit of a trip out of it. On Sunday, September 16, we headed to National Harbor, a quite new facility--much like a resort village--on the banks of the Potomac River in Maryland. Once we were settled into a beautiful condo, we took a lengthy walk on the trails that lead from the property, across the Potomac, into Alexandria and on to Mt. Vernon. We only went as far as the end of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge--but we promised ourselves we'd be back and do some biking the full length of the trail.....
