A Day at Great Falls

Dave and I decided to take advantage of the Pre-Labor Day weekend and visit Great Falls Park located on the southern bank of the Potomac in Virginia, 14 miles (23 km) upstream from Washington, DC. Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parkland is located along the northern banks of the river in Maryland. The Potomac and the falls themselves are within Maryland. Scenic views are offered on both the Maryland side and the Virginia side. We visited overlook points on the Virginia side.

Discovered a new favorite restaurant

Japanese Hibachi restaurants are one of our favorite choices for dining out. Usually, we visit the one located close to our home, which never disappoints us. Tonight we felt adventurous and decided to try a different Japanese restaurant in the Alexandria area – Sumo Sushi Hibachi. It’s located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is rare for this city (!).
