Travelog post for: Ebba

Hello! It was a beautiful day here today (it's been raining a LOT lately), so we all headed to Old Town Alexandria for the Festival of the Arts - a big arts fest in the streets of Old Town. Old Town is where George Washington grew up, and is not only a historic area but a really neat place with shops and restaurants. Here I am walking around the arts festival...

There was lots of cool art, but the steel sculptures were our favorites. I really liked this one of a tree with birds!

While we were walking around, we took a break at the fountains in Old Town - look how beautiful it was out today!

Afterwards, we walked down to the waterfront. Alexandria is near Washington DC on the Potomac River. Here I am in front of the Potomac:

And here I am in front of the Torpedo Factory:

It used to be used to make torpedoes (you could probably have figured that out!), but now it is an artist colony! What an amazing day!
