One of my favorite places to go to when I want to spend a day outside. It’s crazy to think that this amazing place is only 15 miles away from Washington DC, yet there are so many people who still have not visited.
When I think about Great Falls Park, I always think about high school. That was when I was first getting into photography and my mom would take me to practice my compositions. I also remember having to write a school paper about the park with my friend Anna. We walked the trails and researched the heck out of the history but only got a “B” on that paper. It’s ok though because I also remember gossiping and laughing our way through the whole project. It was kind of a miracle that we even got it together enough to write the paper.
As an adult, Andrew and I have taken our nephews to the park to play soccer or we’d walk the trails with Frankie. When we first started dating, we walked the whole entire Billy Goat trail while getting to know each other. Another time my cousin, Lynn came to visit from North Carolina and she got her first signs of pregnancy in the park 🙂 And I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve been here and witnessed the most amazing sunrises and sunsets.

We’re not the only ones who love the park. Its not uncommon to see these beautiful blue herons fishing for dinner.
The park is so big that it is in both Maryland and Virginia. This is a small part of the Maryland side.
Although Virginia is still my favorite side
Hope you enjoyed that stroll down memory lane. I didn’t realize how much Great Falls park meant to me until I had sat down and looked through all these images. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did <3

Yesterday was kind of a rainy and dark day, so what better way to spend the day than with one of my best friends and her 2 week old baby boy. We just hung out and talked while I was cuddling with the baby. He’s the sweetest and cutest thing ever. I didn’t want to leave but around 5p I started getting texts from Andrew about dinner. It was perfect timing because the fog had just started to roll in. I could barely see anything but the lights from the Capital Ferris wheel. So I had to call Andrew and tell him dinner plans will be delayed and U-turned immediately. Good thing I’m a prepared photographer and had my camera with me 🙂

So how do we feel about the snow that’s going to hit the east coast this weekend? Yesterday the lady who was returning my stuff at Target was telling me that she thinks its going to be 14-23″. I don’t know about that, but I do think it’s going to be pretty significant. On one side I’m excited because it’s so fun to watch Frankie play in the snow but on the other side, I had some pretty awesome plans for the weekend that may be cancelled 🙁
