Roses are red, violets are bluish, if it weren't for Christmas, we'd all be jewish...




Tonight we ventured out of our neighborhood down to Old Town Alexandria. Originally we were going to participate in a candlelit holiday tour of Old Town, but as I am still pretty set on exploring Mount Vernon with Martha Washington next week, we decided to just make the tour ourselves. 

On the way home we pass the George Washington memorial before going back into Arlington. Old Town definitely had an old-time feel and we passed a lot of really cool brick houses that would be cool to live in once we are kajillionaires and can afford it.

We had dinner at The Light Horse which basically touted a menu of gourmet comfort foods. I had the most delicious beef loaf and taters, with a tomato gravy. It was glorious. Seriously. Most people would normally shy away from a beef loaf on a menu, and I don't blame them, but I am glad I went for it. Definitely keeping that restaurant on the backburner for future forays into Old Town.
