This is the
W&OD (Washington & Old Dominion) Trail. It was an old rail line, which was mostly destroyed during the Civil War, and now it is a walking/running/biking trail that goes for miles and miles (45 to be exact) across the state, excuse me,
Commonwealth, of Virginia. A section of it is about a block from my house, and since it is 57 degrees today, it seemed like the right thing to do to get out on it and take a walk. Destination: some kind of a playground.
After walking and walking for a long long time with no playground to be found, we saw a jogger who pointed us to a small park in a subdivision off the trail about a block, and there in the park was a very very small playground. It was disappointing to me, but Daphne LOVED it. She hasn't been able to really play outside for weeks, so it was great for her. I can't believe what a nice day it is. The neighborhood kids are all outside playing, but Daphne is missing it because of her nap. I kinda hope she wakes up early. It will be cold again tomorrow. But I certainly enjoyed the nice little taste of spring.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

Is this ''Commonwealth/state'' thing a big bugaboo to VA folks? Never heard of it. Does that mean they don't get Senators? ;)
Park not disappointing: Kids are great. I suppose when the play eqpt. is bigger than you are, it's all good...
