One of the coolest parts about the trail is that it takes you past DCA. There are tons of people who come to Gravelly Point Park to watch the planes take off and land.
Half way down the trail you can either break off and head over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to National Harbor (a favorite ride because it houses The Awakening) or you head out to Mt. Vernon. The Wilson Bridge breaks all kinds of records:
- It is one of only a handful of drawbridges in the U.S. Interstate Highway System
- It is the only bridge in the United States that crosses the borders of three jurisdictions
- It contained the only portion of the Interstate system owned and operated by the federal government, but was turned over to the Virginia and Maryland departments of transportation upon project completion
From there over hill and dale to Mt. Vernon. In all the trips I have made down this path, we never have time to go in and walk around. I am sure nothing much has changed since my visit during undergad with Memere.
Dinner was at District of Pi Pizzeria (lots of 3.141....'s all over the place).
Alex had a recovery Malbec and I a recovery Allagash White.
