Old Town Alexandria

Over the weekend, Brett and I went out and did something neither of us had really done before: we walked around Old Town Alexandria.


Old Town is an historic area on the water of the Potomac. There are lots of cute shops and even more restaurants and cafes. You can take ferry rides down the river or walk around to see all the boats that are docked. There's a nice park there, and we enjoyed walking down the streets of upscale townhomes. You could also peruse a couple of the museums and historic buildings around, if you have time.


The picture above is where we ate dinner. We treated ourselves to a nice, leisurely seafood dinner. The Chart House is right on the water, and since the weather cooperated, we got a seat next to the railing of the balcony.

Can you see the Capitol?

So, if you are tired of the whole DC tour, come visit us and we'll head to Alex.

Wonder what we'll find to do this weekend?!
