i've been going to target in a big commercial complex called washingtonian center. somehow i heard that hidden behind the big box stores was a pedestrian mall with a lake, a boardwalk, a train, and - oh joy - paddleboats! i don't know know why i've always loved paddleboats =) so, since we needed to get chloe a bike helmet, which cost more than the bike - grr, we decided to check it out. a college friend of my mom's, who lives here in rockville and has been incredibly welcoming to us, came along.
there were fountains:
there were geese by the flock that came right to our feet:
and our first small boat ride! lucy's hat did end up in the water at one point, but luckily, we managed to retrieve it =p
it goes without saying there was all kinds of running,
and ju--u-u-mm-mping:
unfortunately, the train only runs in the afternoon, so we'll have to try that another time. all in all though, it was a fun discovery =)
