picnic by the water

We went for a bike ride yesterday to one of our favorite places to sit and relax in DC — the steps by the water at the base of the Memorial Bridge, just off Ohio Drive and the Rock Creek Park Trail. Even though the view over the water is basically looking at the butt of Rosslyn, it’s still a nice place to watch people and the activity over the water. Given how hot it was yesterday, there were not only the usual boaters and kayakers, but also people jet-skiing and tubing as well. We also witnessed some sort of engagement photo shoot going on behind us, with the majestic Lincoln Memorial serving as a backdrop for some lovey couple. And so we sat and ate pineapple, cantaloupe, and goat brie with bread and watched the sun get lower over the water, all-in-all, a great way to waste away a Sunday evening.
