After a snowfall, head to Old Town for some fun!

In the winter Windmill Hill is the neighborhood hotspot for sledding with your thrillseekers. It's a blast for the whole family with different launching points for a variety of levels.

Windmill Hill is also located along the Mount Vernon Trail, so break out your jogging stroller at nap time and wander south along the riverfront As an alternative head toward Old Town and grab a bite to eat at Sweetgreen or Chadwick's. Follow up with ice cream at Pop's Old Fashioned Ice Cream or warm-up by exploring Kate Waller Barrett Library in the neighborhood.

Randi (Betts) Banks grew up in New York and graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. She moved to Washington, D.C. more than thirteen years ago with her husband, Eaghmon, and they love to explore the area and seek out adventure, now with their two young children along for the ride. Growing up right near the beach, they are happiest when on or near the water, so exploring the rivers, lakes, and streams in the greater DC area is a favorite pastime for their family. In addition to serving as one of the Washington, DC area ambassadors, Randi is also the Editor in Chief and Co-founder of happyly.
