National Harbor


We finally rode our bikes to National Harbor. We've been across the Wilson Bridge path many times, but never made it to the harbor area since the last stretch of path is crushed shells, and not friendly to skinny road bike tires. Also not very good riding on road bikes was the bike path, which was inches deep in wet leaves after the Nor'easter. So our mountain/cross bikes were perfect.

The "awakening" sculpture that was at Haines Point was moved here, so that was cool to see. It looks shinier in its new home. The big hotel building is impressive inside, and some of the landscaping is nice also. We'll probably come back for cocktails and dinner sometime.
