It was also a long one.  We left ~9:30 am and returned ~11:45 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Greenbelt Park<\/strong><\/mark> (#348), Maryland, only 10 miles from Washington, DC, one can enjoy affordable camping, hiking, and peaceful forest surroundings. We had originally planned to camp our last 4 nights around DC here, BUT&#8230;no hookups and it was going to be HOT! So, only 2 weeks out, we cancelled. Instead for our visit, we just spent a couple of hours checking out the campground (rustic but nice), chatting with the rangers (got a hot tip from one on parking at Wolf Trap later that day), and taking a short hike through the woods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac<\/strong><\/mark> (#349), DC, a &#8220;Living Memorial&#8221; (like TR Island), which we bi-passed on our drive up the GW Parkway on Wednesday. We went back to check it out and have a picnic (a recommended activity here.) From this distance the seat of national power appears pristine across the river, so President Johnson came here often when he needed to escape from the stresses of building a Great Society. After he died, his wife chose this place for his memorial. A landscape of serpentine paths, white pines, a granite monolith, and an open meadow honors his legacy of social justice and conservation legislation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Clara Barton National Historic Site<\/strong><\/mark> (#350), Maryland, <strong>the <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#730202\" class=\"has-inline-color\">first<\/mark> <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\">National Park<\/mark> established in honor of a Woman!<\/strong>  Clara Barton dedicated her life and energies to help others in times of need &#8211; both home and abroad, in peacetime as well as during military emergencies. Glen Echo was her home the last 15 years of her life, where she did much of her Red Cross work, and the structure illustrates her dedication and concern for those less fortunate than herself.  One interesting thing we learned on our tour (which teared Gail up) is that Chef and humanitarian Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s views Clara Barton as a core inspiration for his disaster-relief organization, World Central Kitchen (our favorite charity).  Andr\u00e9s&#8217; flagship restaurant, Jaleo, is located directly across the street from the historic Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum in Washington, D.C.  Her legacy lives on!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts<\/strong><\/mark> (#351) in Vienna,Virginia, the only national park dedicated to the performing arts, established in 1966.  It is a unique space for visitors to interact with the performing arts in nature.  From May through September, multiple amphitheaters in the park present performances such as musicals, dance, opera, jazz, and popular and country music.&nbsp; The park\u2019s benefactor was Catherine Filene Shouse, of Filenes Department Stores of Boston wealth.  Anyway, of course we had to see a show.  Our choice (for the timeframe we were around), at the Filene Center was:  Bob Dylan, opened by Jimmie Vaughan and the Tilt-A-Whirl Band first, then Lucinda Williams.  We showed up early enough to walk around in the woods a bit and have dinner before the show.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\"
