Amazing weather

The weather in Northern Virginia was amazing today. The temperature was around seventy degrees all day, and the clouds cleared out early in the afternoon. Given that it is the first week of January, it was really weird walking around outside in jeans and a T-shirt. I decided to check out Fort Marcy, which is located between Rt. 123 and the George Washington Parkway. Other than a couple of cannons, there isn't much to see at Fort Marcy.

I drove over to Turkey Run Park and hopped on the Potomac Heritage Trail. I hiked the trail down to the dam, but decided to turn back as the sun was getting low in the sky. Since the weather was nice, there was lots of people hiking the trail today.
