The C & O Canal runs from Cumberland, MD to Georgetown, DC. Built in the 1840s it was soon eclipsed by the B & O Railroad. Now it's wonderful tow path provides a bike trail between to two places.
At the bottom of Wisconsin Avenue where it intersects Water Street is this wonderful fountain.
On a 90º+ day it was a major attraction for the kids.
Out on the Potomac River were various water crafts.
The Key Bridge connects Georgetown to Rossalyn, VA. We crossed that on bicycles to get to the Mt. Vernon Trail.
An assortment of ducks and geese.
The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts could be seen down river.
Rosslyn in Arlington, VA is an area of tall buildings which DC cannot have since nothing can be taller than the Washington Monument.

Clyde's on M Street where we enjoyed a nice lunch sitting at these windows to watch the passersby. This is Clyde's original location.

The old tow path looks like it would make a fun hike. Looks like you packed in a lot of sights in one day.
Fun day!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Both beautiful and sosial- for man and birds :)
I feel like I've been on a day's outing. That canal is so picturesque, would like to take a trip there.
PS - Glad I found Our World Tuesday, a really nice site. And funny in your blog intro you mention it is a bit of "this and that". My thought, too, why not include everything ?
Best, Lisa.
I do like that fountain - my kids would have a ball there!
