Old Town Alexandria

Alexandria is called by some the 'fun side of the River.' A slight, I'm sure, on DC's night life, because if you have a fun side you must by the process of elimination have a not-fun side or boring side. I have yet spent sufficient enough time in either to draw any conclusion which is the 'fun side' or not, but I had a great time on Saturday, August 18, 2007, with a group of my friends as we wandered the streets of Old Town Alexandria, ate dinner and enjoyed a little Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

Darin, our car's driver for the night, has mad parking-spot-spotting and parallel parking skills and found us a sweet spot basically across the street from Ben & Jerry's and while Emma and her car tried to find a parking spot the rest of us wandered down to the pier...and went a little camera happy

Kiss the Camerayes, Amy and Catherine, you are both very silly

After our photo shoot down by the water we went in search, well a more active search for our missing friends. We found Jason Mott and waited some more, listening to some street music. Eventually Bronwyn was spotted and our group was reunited and we head off to Bugsy's a great Pizza place recommended by Bob, Emma's assistant manager at work. We ate and had another photo shoot :)

Voted #1 Pizza Place in Alexandria (or maybe it was the DC Metro area...I don't remember)
Too cute for words
Catherine! I'm Shocked! Shocked, shocked!
Look at Mel with all the boys.

After dinner we went found our way over to the Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. I have a confession and hopefully no one will think less of me for it, but as far as ice cream goes Ben & Jerry's is okay, but not all that it's built up to be. After devouring our ice cream we walked the streets of Alexandria, us and 20,000 other people (okay maybe that's an exaggeration, but there were tons of people out. But why not it was a beautiful night). In our walking we pasted by Town Hall.

The whole night voted by Amy as: GOOD TIMES!
