Boating in Washington DC in November (Pics!)
Dad was in town with the day off, and I had nothing better to do on Thursday, so we took Monsoon into the city for lunch. I thought some might enjoy the photos from a vantage point most don't get to see:
--Georgetown Harbor (National Catherdral visible over million dollar+ condos)
--Georgetown University Rowing Center (Crew races are right here)
--Watergate Buildings

--Monsoon on the Georgetown Harbor wall.
--The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
--Kennedy Center has a deck/balcony with summer jazz concerts that you can listen to from the Potomac River (if you are into that).

--Shot from the 14th Street Bridge(s) looking toward Ronald Reagan National Airport (tower highlighted)
--RR National Airport; there is a launch ramp at Gravelly Point National Park JUST north of the runway by a couple hundred feet, WICKED place to visit.
--Looking at the 14th Street Bridge(s) from vicinity of RR National Airport (this is where the commercial passenger plane crashed into the ice many years ago)

--New draw-span for the replacement Woodrow Wilson Bridge
--Passing under the construction of the bridge (alternate channel, crap everwhere, a bit un-nerving.
--Probably the most precariously placed john I have ever seen. We got a kick out of this one, as you would not ever catch me using it if I worked on the site.

--Bridge construction; quite the site, especially to get up so close.
--MUCHO nads on those folks working on the project.
--Incredible views of the fall on the way back to the trailer; depressing, but impressive at the same time. I went out again today, and met up with a few OSO'ers. It was a great end of the season; 77* today.
