Alexandria (take II)

Though it's a change of pace not having our own home (well to live in, we still technically own one back in IL), living in an apartment definately has perks when it comes to getting out. We've had a lot more free time to explore and enjoy outings as a family, even through the week sometimes.

We journeyed back to Alexandria this week, and the nice weather accomodated us.

 In the Alexandria marina, the Peacemaker (a beautiful sailboat built in Brazil) is currently anchored. They offer free tours and also host music on some evening. We enjoyed walking around the ship and admiring the amazing craftsmanship. It's really beautiful and will only be in town until this weekend, when it will sail north to Perth Amboy, NJ.
