We ate breakfast in Alexandria's Farmers market, selling good stuff since 1753! Even George Washington sent his produce to this market. Getting up early was worth that fragrance of amazing fruits I caught a block away.
Oh the peaches, oranges, veggies, bread all of it amazing. Wow I'll tell you heat is bad for such lovely eatables so this market starts early and they go away with the sun.
We had fresh squeezed orange juice, oh my childhood returned and chocolate chip scones that were better than most scones! We couldn't leave without some fresh bread and veggies to go on pizza. What you don't put veggies on your pizza? Why not?
The day toyed with thunderstorms and we bought our tickets
for a Potomac River boat tour.
And now for the photos from the river
For the first part of our boat trip I was taking the photos under an umbrella
it was a trick to hold the umbrella and take photos and keep the camera dry.
Far away daughter once worked for The NDU.
Fun times!
Our only Gothic building.

So the Potomac has some brackish water that feeds into it
that means it can rise with the tide and today was one of those
times, it was high enough we had to cheat our way under an
up coming bridge. Antenna were laid down we all went to
the lower level and slowly we went under the bridge.
The fun part is we got to do this both
coming and going.
Washington Memorial
Lincoln Memorial
Jefferson memorial
There are some great bridges on this trip and the
ride helps you get an idea on where everything is before you
do it on foot. Which I have done!
Now on into George town
I hear the water is the best way to visit this area
guess traffic and parking is not fun. So Take the boat!
our cupcakes were said to come from!
Wait I don't even like cake but these were so good.
I do love the bridges
food dinner and meeting Meagan
for the Ghost Tours! OOooooo
