To Washington D.C. and Beyond Part II

We stayed in Alexandria, Virginia. It was such a lovely town. Adam had gone on an interview there, and told me about it. I had wanted to see it from his descriptions. We got into town Sunday night and needed to stretch our legs, so we went for a walk. The town has a lot of its original buildings, and the ones added later are designed to have a historical feel. More than just the main street had old buildings too, every street you drove down had the same feel. The people were really friendly, and there were plenty of interesting places to eat. it created a really neat place to visit.

Our hotel from the Metro station. It was really nice to have transportation to D.C. so close, and not have to worry about finding a place to park the car. It was my first time using a subway system. It worked out well, and wasn't intimidating.

Here is our room before, It was really quite pretty.

But it didn't take the boys too long before Lucas started a Pillow fight. The Red neck pillows became a favorite plaything during the little time we were awake and at the hotel.

We are really happy to be where we were headed.

Alexandria's Town Hall.

Lucas loved the fountain, and we spent time running around it, and he debated wether or not to disobey Mom and Dad and jump in anyways.

A doc on the Patomic River. There was one really pretty yacht, but I didn't get a picture of it.

An old building I thought was really pretty. I wish I had gone back to get some during the day, the red brick with all the green vegitation was stunning, and you can't really see it here.

A neat looking building, If I painted city scapes, there would be dozens of view I would like to paint from this place.
