Offering miles of interconnected trails, Virginia's Sky Meadows State Park is about an hour from Washington, D.C. on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The park is beautifully maintained and the climb will reward you with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

On June 30, 2018, protestors gathered in Lafayette Park, directly across from the White House to protest the Trump administration's recent policy of separating parents and children illegally crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico, even in cases where they were seeking asylum.

The subsequent march from Lafayette Park seemed sporadic and not as well organized as the rally itself, perhaps due to the intense heat and unrelenting sunshine.

Photos from the 2018 D.C. Gay Pride celebration in the nation's capital. Always crazy and colorful, this year's parade was no exception.
