One of the first weekends we were here, a few of us Glenn Fellows decided to go for a paddle down the Potomac. For only $25 a person, we were able to each rent a single kayak and spend some time exploring DC from the unique perspective of a kayak. Although there was a long line at the docks (the weather was particularly nice that day), the line moved relatively fast and we were out on the water in a matter of no time. We paddled around Theodore Roosevelt Island and the Lincoln Memorial before heading back to the dock in Georgetown. I couldn't believe how many people were out kayaking, boating, and paddleboarding - it was definitely the thing to do on this late summer day. It was also cool to see the airplanes from Reagan flying overhead. Although it may seem like a toursity thing to do, I would recommend anyone visiting DC to spend some time on the Potomac as it will be an afternoon well spent!
