Rocks and retail therapy

Stephen arrived back from the UK on Friday, along with his Mum, brother and nephew, so we currently have a houseful! Everyone was a bit tired on Friday, and June wasn't feeling so good after the flight and cab ride, so she went to bed and the rest of us popped along to Chadwicks for a bite to eat, then it was back and off to bed.

In a classic jet-lag way, everyone was awake at the crack of dawn, so after an early breakfast we headed off on the grand tour. We did a quick drive about Old Town, then headed up the Parkway to Gravelly Point for some plane spotting - a favourite with everyone!! After that we took a run upto Great Falls...and truly this time it was "Great"! The first visit was a trickle, the second was more of a gush, this was definitely a torrent! I guess they are getting snow melt now which is swelling the flow of water.

Retail therapy and the chance of filling our tummy's beckoned, so we headed over to Tysons Mall. I got a lovely jumper ("golf" style again - I swear I wouldn't have been seen dead in that 6 months ago!) which was reduced in the sale to $7. As we are heading into Sping/Summer fashions all the winter stuff is vastly reduced - despite the fact that it is forecast to be rather chilly this week!!! Good for us consumers!! We then headed over to Potomac Yards in an attempt to find golf shoes, so we really did "DO" retail therapy yesterday!!

We went along to the Union St Bar and Grill for dinner, did some light souvenier shopping and wandered back home.

Great Falls - looking truly great this time!
