Sunday evening stroll...along the freeway.

From the time we moved into our house, they have been working on the construction of a new bridge on the Interstate near our home that crosses over to Maryland. A big bridge. A 12-lane bridge. It was completed a little while ago but Ben had really been excited about the walking lane on the bridge, which was opened not too long ago. Last Sunday we all took a stroll across the bridge. The fun thing about it, other than 12 lanes of cars zooming past you, is that you start in Virginia and then walk through D.C. and then into Maryland, all on the bridge. There are markings on the bridge that tell you when you cross over. It gave me a little bit of vertigo to look down at the water, but it was a beautiful evening with a lovely sunset.


We drive on the Beltway all the time so it was fun to experience it a different way...a way with no traffic.










There were a LOT of spiders on the bridge.




Amelia really loves looking through these, although from her height, she can only see the sky.
