Visit Alexandria

Have you been to Alexandria, VA? I’ve lived in C’ville for more than 30 years and I had never been to Alexandria until this past Fall. If you love history and love hidden gems…you’ll love Alexandria. I am working on a blog post with all of the things that we did that you can do too and all of the pictures that I took while we were there. It is taking me longer to compile everything than I had hoped, so stay tuned…I am working on it and am really excited to show you all of the places that we visited. Many of these places you can visit for FREE(one of my favorite words). Alexandria is pretty amazing. Details coming soon!
