Finding Sweet Moments in Historical Alexandria, Virginia

This week my "spare-ent", Jan, is visiting me from California.  From the minute she landed to the moment we open our eyes in the morning we are constantly on the go.  Living in Alexandria, Virginia, just 15 minutes outside of D.C., there's lots to do and see.


Today we ventured out to Old Town Alexandria.  The heart of downtown and a hub of activity and history preceding the American Revolution and the Civil War.  The architecture here is very sweet and filled with whisperings of times I'll only ever read about.  But still, just to be in the midst of buildings that have seen so many changes and historical marks of U.S. history makes me sigh.


Here are a few pictures of today's outing...
