Saturday turned out to be filled with unexpected fun. After spending the morning doing some chores, I noticed some interesting clouds forming out east that looked like a good photographic opportunity. By the time I finished my laundry and got out to the mall, the clouds had moved a bit, but I still got a few photos. In walking about, I discovered that they had closed off a section of Pennsylvania Ave for a street fair celebrating Asian heritage.
After checking that out for a bit I decided to head home.
Just as I was finishing taking some pictures at the navy memorial, I ran across Kathy who suggested meeting up later to tour around Old Town Alexandria. I took the metro over and we connected up for a stroll down King Street, which has a nice collection of shops and restaurants. We ended up down at the waterfront, and had a nice dinner overlooking the Potomac. After a nice dinner,
and watching the prom night crowds, Kathy found a Scottish heritage store and picked up some presents. Then we stumbled across an Irish bar that had live music, so we went in and stayed through several sets of singer Pat Carroll. I didn’t get home till the wee hours, but it was an unexpectedly fun day that started out fairly plain.
