Had one of the best nights out in a long time Wednesday night in Old Town. For those of you unfamiliar with the quaint little waterfront neck of the woods in Alexandria, let me tell you — it’s amazing.

Just south of Washington, D.C., Old Town is a historian’s paradise that dates back to the 1800’s.
With streets filled with everything from awesome boutique shopping to fantastic restaurants, it’s arguably the most charming part of my beloved city, Alexandria.

| Gorgeous tavern dating back to the 1700′s. Notable vistors include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison and James Monroe. How’s that for some history? |

| One of the last preserved cobblestone streets, also known as Captains Row. While it’s a pain in the you-know-what to wear heels on this street, it’s right down by the water and is absolutely gorgeous. With large trees stretching their branches to the middle of the street like a mock arch. And all of the homes are all of brick. So nice |
So yeah, I love my city, and I particularly love Old Town. While I never actually want to live IN Old Town, I’m more of a yard and fence kind of girl, I always want to live nearby. Geez, I’m in love with this area.
If you ever visit D.C. make sure you stop by Old Town. I promise you’ll love it.
