Final Days of VA


On Sunday afternoon, Matt and I left Elijah with Nonna and Papa and we went back to our old stomping grounds. Alexandria, VA was where Matt and I spent the majority of our dating days together. We drove to Old Town Alexandria and checked into Hotel Monaco. That evening we walked around Old Town and met up with our good friend, Kevin Ward. Afterwards, we enjoyed a phenomenal meal at the Chart House restaurant. The Chart House was also where we dined after we were married:) Following our meal, we once again walked through Old Town and even snapped a picture in front of the Alexandria Court House, where we had our pre-marriage/Engagement photos taken. So many wonderful memories and sentimental moments made for an amazing night out for the two of us.

The next morning, we went walking through Old Town (once again), grabbed Starbucks and enjoyed the sunrise on the pier looking out on the Potomac, followed by and AMAZING breakfast at Bread and Chocolate.
A beautiful Virginia morning

Before returning home, we grabbed lunch at Matt's favorite restaurant, Typhoon. It's a Thai restaurant located in Arlington, VA across the bridge from the Pentagon.
