Jon and I have been kayaking a couple of times now, and we're big advocates of promoting it as a perfect, inexpensive DC activity if you want to get out of the business/monument district and get into the great outdoors. Our friends Nate & Ashlee introduced us to Jack's Boathouse, and we haven't been back to the Thompson Boat Dock Center since then. Jack's is a little more upstream (north of Key Bridge instead of south of it) and let's you get straight out of the city and right into some beautiful scenery.We had so much fun kayaking with Jon's parents! They shared a kayak, and Jon and I each had our own, and you can guess we were embarrassed when they were killing us on the way back--we accredit that to them sharing and having twice as much manpower, not to mention me being 6 months pregnant at the time and Jon being nice enough to stay with me. :) Don't get me wrong, I still paddled hard and made some serious good time! But we weren't cut out to beat Jon's parents...Jon said that made him feel old. :) What a beautiful quick getaway though. It was the perfect Saturday morning activity!
