The first day my dad was here, we went to Scotts Run. We hadn't been there since mid-June, when the Potomac was several feet higher and moving much faster. It was amazing to see the difference when we arrived at the end of the hike. The area where the kids and my dad are standing, in the pictures above, was about 10 feet under water 2 months ago.
It was a beautiful day for a hike--maybe could have been a few degrees cooler, but it wasn't very humid. We saw dozens of tiny baby toads. It was great to walk a few miles with my kids and my dad, just chatting and having fun. After the hike, the kids started asking about food and my dad offered to buy us lunch. Spending the morning throwing rocks into water and looking for toads, then topping it off with mac and cheese from Noodles (their favorite restaurant of all time...), was pretty much a dream come true for my kids. Thanks, Dad!

Hiking with Dad is always fun. And I love Noodles too - somehow missed it this time!
Always fun hanging out with Mom and Dad
