Water Taxi Ride on the Potomac

Nickolas and Lucy had a fun day with Greta and Henry on Friday with nearly perfect weather on a 2-hour water taxi ride up the Potomac. Originating in Old Town, Alexandria, VA we went north to Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Each way took about 45 minutes. Along the way, we passed Reagan National Airport where planes were taking off and landing; the Naval Research Center that had cool Doppler radars which Nickolas thought were spaceships, all of the monuments (boat ride is also known as a monument tour); and passed underneath many bridges. We had a good time and Nickolas even met the Captain and steered the boat! Of course, at the end, he did not want to leave the boat.
