This was in the Torpedo Factory Art Center. It is a huge mall like place full of artists studios of all varieties of art. Their studios are open for you to watch them work. It's pretty cool, especially if you're into art! This little area was the only real child friendly spot. But they loved getting to draw on the walls.
It was our anniversary the day we were there, so while I was out looking at pottery studios, Dave drew this heart for me. :) Sweet!
Abby drew a cat!
Out on the dock, the kids loved watching the huge tourist paddle boats load up.
Dave ran up to move our car so we didn't get a ticket. While the kids and I waited, this awesome man was on the street corner playing music. Listen to it...it's incredible!
Our awesome friend Amanda recomended Cosi's to us, and we LOVED their food. It was so good we went there a couple more times even in D.C.!
They had smores you could make at your table! It was so fun! The kids loved it (and so did we)!
Note to Self: when we go back in the future, go to their visitors/tourist office about 1/2 down to the water on that main street (I think it's called King St) first. They had a print out of "This week in Historic Alexandria" and fliers for everything you could do and see in Alexandria. A couple things we would've liked to do was, they do Ghost and Graveyard Tours where you follow a costumed guide holding a lantern through parts of the old Alexandria and they tell you ghost stories and folk lore. It sounded really fun! And also there was the Freedom House Museum, the Masonic temple (closes really early) and other little museums we would have liked to visit. So...go there next time!

Yeah! These were the pictures I was waiting for. That's awesome that the water music guy was there...I've totally seen him before. Go Old Town! That's my home turf! I'm glad you had a good time.
What a fun time! The art wall is way cool!
