On Saturday we decide to check out Gravelly Point Park. It is located just across the river from DC and just happens to be a popular place to watch airplanes up close. I have to admit that I'm sort of a jet plane junkie. I've watched tons of youtube videos of interesting landings and places to "plane spot". I've heard that there's a beach in St. Maarten where you can stand just a few feet under jumbo jets as they land. Maybe someday I will get to that beach, but in the meantime this park was plenty awesome. It's just north of the main runway for DCA, so the traffic was crazy. There were planes landing and taking off every couple of minutes like clockwork. It was super cool! I loved it!
We stayed for maybe close to an hour just watching planes, playing catch, kicking a soccer ball, and climbing trees. The noise was pretty intense so an hour was plenty. It was so neat to watch the different approaches and speeds of the planes. I really liked being right underneath them. Tough angle to get a picture, but so fun to experience. Now, I want to go to that beach even more.
