I love living near Washington, D.C., but I often get too caught up in the daily grind to take advantage of the great activities going on around town. I’m trying to change that, so when I saw an advertisement for a “Fall Foliage Kayaking Tour,” I checked our calendar, checked the weather, and signed up.
Happy anniversary to the Friday Five Link Up hosted by the Courtney, Cynthia and Mar–a/k/a the D.C. Trifecta!
