Michelle and I went on a really fun bike ride today. We started out on a trail near where we live called Four Mile Run. This eventually runs into Mount Vernon Trail, which is a gorgeous trail to ride on because it runs parallel to the Potomac River and you can see all of D.C.'s well known monuments on the other side of the river as you are riding along. We stopped at a monument we had never been to before called the Navy and Marine Memorial. It was a really nice monument, dedicated to all the men and women in the Navy and Marines that have perished in the ocean or at sea.We entered D.C. by crossing the Key Bridge. Our plan was to get a cupcake at Georgetown Cupcake, but apparently it is the biggest tourist attraction around (the line went out the door and up the block!). We kept moving and started to make our way bag home but this time we went home via Rock Creek Park. In other words, we were on the other side of the Potomac River and got to ride past the Watergate buildings, the Kennedy Center, and some of the amazing monuments in D.C.
All in all it was a really good bike ride. I am really proud of Michelle for how much biking she is doing. I estimate that we biked about 15 miles. The sun and heat were really strong today too, so it made the bike ride a little bit tougher, but Michelle stuck with it and we had a lot of fun!
The following are pictures of our bike ride (in no particular order), and there is a video at the bottom as well:

This is so fun! We'll definitely have to get our bike gang together sometime soon!
Chelsea, we really should get everyone who is into biking together for a fun ride to somewhere in D.C. Maybe to a fun location to eat lunch and then ride back home?
