Water Trails

I thought this was so cool, I started emailing it to various people before I realized... it would be more efficient to post it on the blog.

I need to get back to the blogging frame of mind.

So, Water Trails.

Paddling is something I'd like to do more of with the boys.  Especially now they're able to do a little propelling of their own.

Matt - last year at Jane's Island

We live in an area with an abundance of water trails. I've mentally bookmarked them here, here, here and here.

Then today, I saw this!

"Follow in the Wake of Captain John Smith's Chesapeake Bay Journeys" 

Oooo. Definitely something to work toward.
