Old Town

From A:

Over the weekend, J and I took our first visit to Old Town Alexandria.  It's a nice place to walk around for the afternoon, with a wide variety of shops and restaurants.

We had planned to take a trolley from the Metro down to the waterfront, but ended up walking instead.  It was a nice walk (just over a mile, in and out of shade) that gave us a chance to check out what stores are there.

For lunch we went to a pizzeria near the waterfront.  It didn't live up to Blue Highway deliciousness (nothing ever does), but it was still a tasty lunch.

The only photos I got were from a dock on the Potomac River.  We had a great view looking across the river from Virginia to DC:

That's the Capitol in the distance.

A view of National Harbor across the river.

Sunbathing on a docked boat.  Really?

Finally, we'd like to give a shout out to one of our favorite bloggers, Chelsea.  She has a new blog called Theology and Geometry - you should check it out!*

*However, since J + A isn't on its blog list, we can't make any official guarantees about its awesomeness.
