Twenty Years


It's been twenty years since we said "I do."  

Go ahead, have a laugh on me.  



The timing wasn't right for a lengthy getaway so we went
biking on the C&O canal trail.


Since my kids have done hardly anything except bicker since we finished school
 for the year, it was a relief to spend the day with...




Did you know turtles don't bicker, talk back, or snip at their siblings all the live-long day?

I digress.

The trail included a canal,


the Potomac River,


and the paw paw tunnel.


which is a 3,118 feet long canal tunnel - quite creepy, without any lighting, a drippy ceiling, and an uneven path.

(I swiped this pic from google.)

See that light waaaaaaaaaay at the far end?   It stays that size for a long time.


After arriving at the other side we turned right around and walked back again to scarf our lunch. 


We ate subs we picked up at Davis' favorite bistro - Rick's gas station.
Quite the romantics, eh?



Kenton's highlight of the day was our stop at this former aqueduct.  

Did you know this was an aqueduct?


I didn't.

Kenton did.


To quote the farmer in the dell,

"It may have taken 20 years, but I was right once!"

He's got the map to prove it.  

Here's to another twenty, babe!
