Bridges of Rock Creek Parkway

Several days ago we thought it was time to make the butterball in bone turkey breast with all the fixings. But it would be too much for my husband and I. So we split everything in half, packed it up in containers, and drove in to DC to drop off this surprise special “touchless” delivery to my brother and sister in law. It’s been a while since we have seen them, and even longer since we drove back home riding along the Rock Creek Parkway. We used to travel this way all the time when we lived on Capitol Hill heading to any NW DC destination. What is notable all along the way are the many bridges and overpasses along the route. Several of the structures are quite old and very ornate. Others are covered in vines and graffiti. Some are clearly walking bridges. Heading toward the Kennedy Center we were diverted to Virginia Avenue and then on to 66. The next time we should just continue along and take Memorial bridge over in to Virginia. Regardless, either path gets you on the George Washington Memorial parkway on our way home. It is one of my favorite rides along the Potomac River. It’s funny how my family all ended up in the same general area - one in DC, one in Maryland, and one in Virginia. It was a fun excursion.
