Matt suggested one Saturday afternoon that we ride the White's Ferry across the Potomac River. I was excited and thought the boys would really enjoy it. Matt of course gave me full disclosure regarding that it was a cable driven ferry but I guess I didn't really understand what that meant. I spent the whole time getting the boys dressed and driving there imagining this big boat that would take us across a decent sized river. When we got there and this is what I saw...
A small ferry that fits around 20 cars at a time and is pulled along a cable line that goes across the river
I was a teeny bit nervous and started "worst case scenario" planning in my head on how we would save three children out of their car seats and safely reach the other size in case this small old vessel for some reason didn't make it across. The whole time we watched the cars go across and then back I was nervous. Nathaniel however,
was excited!
I think Noah shared some of my sentiments.
Our turn coming up....
From the middle of the river.
We safely made it across (and back!) and it was a lot of fun.
