Swimming the Rapahanock

It was GREAT!!!  The water was calm and perfect!  The two youngest wore life jackets as there are occasional spots over their heads, but not many.  We had almost an entire section of river to ourselves except for a few fishers in canoes that floated by sporadically.  Highly recommend spending a day there.  We packed a picnic and towels and that was all we needed.  Other than the gas to get there, it was free! Oh, and we did need to clean the van afterwards as the amount of sand brought home was HUGE!!!
