The start of Labor Day weekend......can't believe it! Where oh where did summer go? A good day in Alexandria with perfect weather, good shopping, eating, etc.
Exercised this morning - that task is not too difficult when we're on the Potomac, can see the Capital Building in the distance and have nice cool temps this early Friday morning. Then off to breakfast at the The Firehook Bakery and Coffee Company. They had sooo many homemade breads, including pumpkin cranberry (another sign of fall)! We walked around downtown a bit before the shops were open and then parted ways with Mark on the hunt for a grocery store and me getting my shopping fix satisfied! I walked along King Street several blocks further than yesterday and did my part to boost Alexandria's economy!
This afternoon we went to the Torpedo Factory and checked out some of the artisans booths - wow.....3 floors of every kind of media with hefty $$$ tags. They have over 500,000 visitors each year. Fun to browse, but no purchases made!

Market Square
The Chart House of Alexandria
We love the Chart House restaurants across the country (been to Annapolis, Boston, Daytona Beach and Savannah......tonight's dinner was excellent, but the noise level was really bad and it was
COLD in there! We refrained from ordering the chocolate lava cake, their signature dessert and Mark's very favorite! Watching our calories, ya know;...ha ha!!!
Corn-fed boy
Have a fun, safe holiday weekend!
