Happy Birthday Alexandria!

This weekend I went with the ladies of my church to the Women of Faith Conference in Washington D.C. leaving Michael and the girls on their own for 24 hours. The conference was great and I came home to find that the house was still standing, nothing had been destroyed, toys had been picked up, and everyone was happy.

Saturday evening we took the girls to Historic Old Town Alexandria for their birthday celebration. The area was filled with families and friends picnicing and playing games, but wasn't so overwhelmed with people that you felt closed in. We enjoyed listening to the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, eating birthday cake, and watching fireworks over the Potomac River. We will most definitely go back next year!
