I tried not to get my hopes up too high that this weekend adventure would actually happen, but the weather was perfect and the plan fell, very neatly, into place. Saturday morning to packed up for one night and headed to Great Falls, VA. The children had never seen a waterfall and were really excited to have family time. I had sortof forgotten, but quickly remembered, that tourist sites in big cities attract a lot of people!
There were 3 overlooks that we walked to. Super easy walks that were just right for that day.
There were several kayaks that captured Isaiah's interest.
Josiah was really glad to have his binoculars with him.
There were a lot of rocks to climb on and get different views.
Don't worry! I didn't just forget pictures of Anna. She isn't very fond of posed pictures these days.
Aliza was absolutely in awe of creation and the Creator. She found a quiet spot to do an Instagram story.
At the third overlook Jeremy had the big idea to take pictures through the binoculars--and it worked!
This was a super introduction for family adventuring for us. Getting to the hotel was high on the kids' agenda so we didn't stay too long. There is nothing more exciting than a family slumber party in a hotel! ha! My mom taught me well how to camp. ;) Just as exciting as the hotel was getting to eat supper at Bob Evans (kids choice) because you can get an ice cream sundae for dessert for $1.29! Despite everyone being tired they all handled the really long wait for our food well. Then it was a night time swim in the ice cold pool before bed.
To be continued...
