Last weekend the weather was really nice and so Sheridan and I decided to head to Old Towne Alexandria. It was a lot of fun! Alexandria has an older, very historical area to it that is really fun to walk around and see all the little boutiques and restaurants. Alexandria was a major trading place during the 1700's and was among the 10 busiest ports in America during the French and Indian war. George Washington was also very involved with the town of Alexandria. Lincoln was actually born in Alexandria, but we had never really ventured towards the area with all the shops. It was really nice outside and so we loaded the stroller in the car and headed out.
Here is Sheridan with Lincoln in front of one of the historical timelines.
Me with Lincoln in front of the port area.
Some of the old buildings
There is a free trolley that goes from the top to the bottom of "Old Alexandria", about a 3 mile stretch.
We were laughing at this sign someone had put in their car.
There were lots of people out with their kids. It was a lot of fun!
