School’s Out
So Robert and I headed to the Potomac to celebrate. I get to take the week off before the “real” camps start up (Sarah has to work); Robert and I are just looking for things to do.
It was not all swimming in the rapids; we did paddle some. Then we had a little lunch — you have to be energized before swimming in the current.
Then we played in the Virginia Chute for a while. We even swam/ferried across to the other side and back — that was more work than I expected.
We took a little break on the island before our return trip.
After we were well cooled off, we did some sand castle building down where Difficult Run comes into the river. And that up with two runs of the Maryland side after sliding the canoe up and over the rocks next to the drop.
Finally, we found a sandy beach and some rocks to climb on on the way back to the car. With all that sand, Robert had one more swim to rinse off before getting hauled into the canoe.
All in all, a great way to start the summer!
