A little place called Alexandria


Thursday, July 12, 2012

Yesterday Evelyn and I went on a double date with our cute friends to Alexandria. Oh. My. Goodness. If you have never been to that little town, I have to say it is a must see when coming to DC. The place is just bursting with an antique-y colonial flare but so revived with modern life as well.

We took the kiddos to the waterfront to stretch their little leggies, watch the boats and planes go by, and admire the gorgeous harbor. Then we walked the streets, window gazing along the way, until we landed at our destination - Bertucci's. Brick oven pizza with roasted artichoke, mozzarella, Italian sausage and grated parmesan = MmmmmMMM good mood food. Til next time, Alexandria! {And thanks Hannah for putting up with Ev's tantrum:) }

  12. Such cute photos! Love the shots of Evelyn in the stroller!! My favorite time in Alexandria is the Fall, especially when all the doggies, big and small, parade around in their Halloween costumes and go in and out of all the shops and cafes! It is a really a charming town!
