This Sunday


We're going to try Great Falls, Virginia again for Round One (part 2) of the Battle of the Falls. In the event of a government shut-down, we'll go to Riverbend Park instead, which is right next door.

Round one in the battle of the falls was called on a technical knock out. Seems mother nature beat us to the punch! See you on April 10th when, hopefully, spring will have really arrived!
