Getting Around
One of my favorite biking routes is the Rock Creek Park Trail. I go from home to the National Mall, all the way from the Capital to the Lincoln Memorial, and then take the trail along the Potomac River to Georgetown. Spectacular views by the river, and once you're in Georgetown, you can enjoy a great meal or shopping in that classy, more upscale neighborhood.
