Great Falls Park is a beautiful park on the Potomac River. There are tons of trails and great viewing areas to see waterfalls. We picked up some Taylor sandwiches and drove out to have a picnic and see the falls.
After a yummy lunch we walked over to the falls. It was a beautiful view….but I have to admit I was picturing more of a Niagara Falls as opposed to a beaver made dam.
After some pics in front of the falls we walked one of the trails. Obviously one of the easier ones since Adam was in his stroller.
We promised we would go back and put Adam in a carrier and hike some of the longer trails.
Going back in time to Saturday we had a great day with friends. First up was Sal’s birthday party at Hill Country BBQ where A LOT of brisket was eaten. Despite having a newborn, Pamela (yes, the same Pamela who introduced me to the best chili ever) made little jars of homemade barbecue sauce. I can’t wait to try that this week!
After lunch we met our friend Joel at the H Street Festival. I was picturing a French Farmers Market ….while it was more of a louder, more crowded, dirtier frat party. We decided to head out and head over to Pearl Oyster, which as more our cup of Rosie Lee. This Oyster Bar has been on our list of places to try ever since I was pregnant. It was worth the wait!
Adam wasn’t impressed by the Oysters 🙂 but we were! (picture by Joel)
Dinner was fantastic! This is on our list of places to go back to before we leave.

Is this related to the NYC Pearl Oyster?

Haha great pics! and you're right, it's definitely not Niagra but the hikes are good on both sides of the River! The Billy Goat Trail is on the Maryland side – it's got some challenging parts so that may be for when Adam gets a bit older. And it's just a coincidence in name Daph, but that's where I saw Jin from Lost last winter.
