C & O Canal

Saturday was a beautiful day so we decided to get out and do some exploring. Nearby in Potomac we found the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Park. It is almost 20, 000 acres! Originally constructed for trade purposes in the 1800s it is full of historic dams and buildings but has really become a refuge for nature lovers. The rapids are incredible for kayaking and white water rafting! We took the baby so only sightseeing and a little hiking for us! Next time though...
