P7042183 Our first 4th of July in the Washington, DC area found us heading to Great Falls National Park and the Patowmack Canal for the early part of the day. P7042183
P7042185 After arriving at the park, it was snack time for Aurora. Here she is as Kate feeds her a banana - curbside to go. Her mouth is full. P7042185
P7042187 Thanks mom! P7042187
P7042191 A portion of the Falls of the Potomac River from the Virginia side of the river. P7042191
P7042192 Some of the upper falls area. P7042192
P7042195 Aurora was nice and cozy on dad's back. She enjoyed the shaking as dad had to climb over the rocks of the viewing area. P7042195
P7042196 Kate with the falls in the background. P7042196
P7042197 We got someone to take a family photo, but wouldn't you know it, Aurora just wants to look at the falls. Or is she looking at the rocks in the river? Future geologist? P7042197
P7042199 The entire Falls of the Potomac River. P7042199
P7042201 Another photo with more rocks in the view. P7042201
P7042203 Maybe Aurora was checking out this guy. He and a couple other people were in their glory with the rapids and eddies. P7042203
P7042207-P7042212_Great_Falls A larger panoramic of the Great Falls of the Potomac River. P7042207-P7042212_Great_Falls
P7042214 A short distance down river from the falls. P7042214
P7042216 Closer to our viewing area were these cool off-shoot falls. P7042216
P7042218 The entire view of these falls leading up river, and... P7042218
P7042219 ...a wider view of this area. P7042219
P7042220 After checking out the falls, we went on a nice walk along the Patowmack Canal. P7042220
P7042224 We went as far up river to the dam in the Potomac River. The guy in the photo was fishing, as were some other people off camera. P7042224
P7042225 On our return to the parking area, we happened to see this crane hanging out along the river bank. This is the full zoomed in photo. P7042225
P7042231 Another photo of the crane with the tree that it hopped up on in the frame. P7042231
P7042237 At this point along the trail, the Patowmack Canal begins. P7042237
P7042238 If you can read it, here is some info on the canal. Too much vandalism to the sign. Aurora was asleep on my back at this point, so she was able to sleep while we drove to our next stop that day - Arlington National Cemetery. P7042238
