To start Alex and I finally woke ourselves up at a decent hour to go to the Alexandria Farmer's market held in the town square. There were a lot of vendors with fresh fruits and veggies, baked goods and fresh made pasta! We did do any heavy shopping since we really hadn't planned any meals and didn't really need a whole lot. We did pick up some luscious strawberries that I am going to dip in chocolate for a sweet treat for tonight after dinner. I definitely plan to go back t pick up veggies and hopefully bouquets of flowers when I have the money. We did buy some pastries that were delicious and served as a great late breakfast. We then wandered into a few stores on King Street and finally ended up at Starbucks for some frappicinos which we drank on the pier and got to watch darling little kids feed the ducks.
Later in the afternoon Ben came out to Alexandria to pick up his suit from J.Banks and then we went to a great grocery store and picked up some mozzarella and bread. We also discovered Sofia Minis....great for a day in the park. I plan to drink these frequently this summer!
After some wine and cheese Ben and I laid out in the grass for a small, nap/lounge. People watching became distracting however and we got caught up in watching a family of three.
We then wandered to the torpedo factory to check out some of the art galleries. After a full day I dropped Ben off at the metro and went home.
Alex and I later went to see a movie and then once home I proceeded to pass out on the couch while watching 20/20.
It was a wonderful Saturday!
Horray for an awesome Saturday! You did so much cool stuff in one day. Also it's good you took advantage before it got all super hot again - today was sweltering!
