Every year, I get excited about spring weather. Then, one day I wake up and it's sweaty, sticky summer. This year my aim is to appreciate the spring season.
I started doing so the last few weekends by spending plenty of touristy time outside with visitors. (I think I still have some photos to post from last weekend.)
This weekend, I didn't hit my goal of total hours spent outside, but I did a decent job. I spent Saturday exploring the parks of Silver Spring. I walked a large loop along the northern edge of D.C. to Jessup Blair Park, then past Montgomery College and the edge of Takoma Park (the city), then back up Georgia Avenue and through downtown Silver Spring to Ellsworth Park — where I spent part of the afternoon reading "Eat, Pray, Love." (I'm not quite done with it yet, but I love that book!) Then, I trekked to church before heading home. And all that was after a morning jog and a walk to the bank (and cupcake shop) in downtown Silver Spring.
Sunday, I started the day with a tennis game (despite my aching muscles from the previous day's run/walk combo). I had hoped to explore the northern side of Rock Creek Park, but I had to run some errands and cook instead. I guess I'll have to save that for another weekend.

WOW! You sound super productive and very outdoorsy! I miss being able to be out walking a ton and enjoying the spring weather...I can exercise for now in the pregnancy, but because I'm so exhausted all the time, I never feel like doing it! So...enjoy a walk for me! : )
