Travel By Boat

Water taxis are great for kiddie-cruising!
They run all day everyday, it’s cheap, it’s a short 20min ride each way, and every marina/harbor in the DC area has something cost-free and fun for kids to do when they get off the boat.
Today we boarded the Lady Josephine in Virginia and cruised to Maryland for a playdate.

All the kids had fun running up and down the boat spotting wildlife, low-flying airplanes, and waving to the passengers in the yachts and cruise ships that passed by.Β 
He’s seen theΒ Woodrow Wilson Bridge many times from the car and on bike rides, but never from the water. I don’t think he realized how massive it was until seeing it from this perspective. When the boat took us underneath it, he shouted, “Whoaaaaa!”Β 
He got to see various types of boats that share the river.
It got a bit windy so we stepped inside the cabin to have a snack.

Made it safely to our destination… The Awakening sculpture on a small beach at the National Harbor. After an hour of play and a visit to the Peeps store, we got back on the boat and headed home.
We checked out the back of the boat on the way home.
