jones point park. new and improved.

A few weekends ago the girls got to participate in their first "junk 'n jammies" with Grandma and Grandpa Black. They got to spend the night at their apartment, stay up late, and eat lots of junk food. They were so excited when we dropped them off. Their apartment complex has a pool so they were able to go swimming when they first arrived. They are already looking forward to doing it again.

Saturday morning Ben and I enjoyed a much quieter house with just Oliver. It was a really chilly morning and rainy but we thought we would go out for a walk/run which is much easier to do with just one kid. We decided to check out the new Jones Point Park and run across the Wilson Bridge. Not long after we arrived it started to pour so we just ran a few laps underneath the huge bridge. The rain let up a little so we decided to head across the bridge. It ended up being perfect weather for a run. The rain stopped and we hung out on the Maryland side of the bridge for awhile, just letting Oliver play around and wander. He loved having our undivided attention. We ended up being out for three hours. There is something so great about unexpected cooler temperatures in the middle of a hot July.

The newly renovated Jones Point Park is awesome. And only a few minutes from our house. I love that somebody decided to develop a nice park under this massive bridge. It's pretty amazing to walk underneath it. I need to go back so the kids can check out the playgrounds and walk to the lighthouse. It's a great place to get on the George Washington Parkway trail too.

And then Ben ran over his iphone with the car when we left the parking lot. It had fallen out of the stroller. Amazingly, it still worked! He wrapped it with saran wrap and used it the rest of the week until his work sent a replacement. I think he was happy with the upgrade to the 4s.
