We left home with the top down on the convertible and enjoying the perfect morning weather. Of course we took the scenic, non-toll road route to take advantage. AJ was so relaxed he nodded off on the ride. After some uick shopping we drove up the GW Parkway and landed in Old Town Alexandria. We should have know what a great plan it was when we scored a parking spot right by the big fountain on King st - near enough to stop and throw some pennies in of course.
As we finished up at the fountain we heard some strange noises - loud bangs. Turns out there was a British soldier rennactment group a block up and they were firing thier muskets. AJ got the grand tour of their "campsite", a quick musket firing lesson with Daddy, a look inside the soldiers pack-pack and he even scarfed down the gingerbread the nice women had!
After a stop for some lunch, we walked down to the waterfront and checked out the boats. I think AJ enjoyed standing right in front of the kid playing guitar more than watching the boats!

So, did we reward the guitar player? Looks like a fun day.
Of course we took care of him. He wasn't half bad in fact.
