We went out to Breakfast at a little cafe downtown Alexandria. Very crowded but food was good. I have been looking for a good breakfast restaurant since I saw all the pancake houses on our trip to Williamsburg. But there don't seem to be the same sort of places around this part of VA.
Next we went to the Farmer's market in Del Rey - very small - and then walked down the Main street to see what was there.
In the afternoon, looking for something local to do, we went to the museum down at the Patent office area in Alexandria. It is located in the first floor of one of the fancy new buildings. The museum shows the history of several important inventions that are well known in popular culture - like the Jolly Green Giant. I was busy taking pictures and at the end realized I didn't have a card in the camera! Oh well.
We went out to dinner with Buff and Carol, the one couple we have met here. Actually Buff works on Alegra so that's how he knows Sue. We went to the little French restaurant that Sue and I went to during Restaurant Week, when Tim and Ann treated us to dinner long distance. We had a great time with Buff and Carol, they are a lot of fun.
Earlier in the week, on the 9th, we went out to dinner in Alexandria with Ed and Susan Boucheron. Ed was out for meetings at NNSA. After dinner we took a walk along the river, north from King street and went farther than Sue and I had ever gone. And we saw fireflies! The last and only time Sue and i had ever seen them was in middle America on a cross country trip with the kids - maybe Missouri. So this was a real treat - they were everywhere.
