This has been a great week. I have half days so I was able to see a bit more of the city. I headed out to Old Town Alexandria one day just to walk around. Kings Street was lined with antique shops, little coffee houses and book stores. It was a very quiet and quaint area. I was able to relax underneath a shady spot in the park and I had a great day just wandering around without a plan.
As I promised before, here is a photo blog of recent events!
The Kite Festival brought hundreds of people to the National Mall!
The Smithsonian Castle
I got to fly this kite for a bit! TIE DYE!
We played a little frisbee too
Shannon and Salmon P. Chase
Salmon is pictured here on the left side, middle row, and closer to the center.
This is a poster of potential presidential candidates. Lincoln is right below Chase.
