You can often find Mr. Gridley exploring the woods: up to the mountains, down to the swamps, along the canal. He is not limited, however, to exploring only the woods: you can also find him exploring the beach, lighthouses, and dunes. As breathtaking as vistas can be, he also loves to get down on his hands and knees to explore the world of the tiny. Finally, he enjoys urban adventures, and being religious, he enjoys religious art and architecture. In all his adventures, he wants to know the history, and there is much history to explore in the Washington DC area.

Everywhere he goes, his camera goes too, so he can share his journeys with his family, his friends, and you. Come journey with him, friend, and discover with him the wonder of the world in the Washington, DC area. Most of his journeys have not taken him far: mostly within a few hours of Washington, DC.
