Alexandria, Virginia

An outdoorsy town that's grown tremendously over recent years, Alexandria certainly has a lot to offer. Let's summarize some of our best recommendations when spending some time in the Alexandria VA:

According to the Trust for Public Land, Fairfax has some of the highest-quality parks and public outdoor spaces in the country. If the weather is cooperative, then Goat Hill Park, Jones Point Park, Founders Park, and Waterfront Park are four of the most-visited outdoor spots in the metro area. Windmill Hill Park, Dora Kelley Nature Park, Cameron Run Regional Park, and Potomac Yard Park are additional solid outdoor options.

If you'd rather do something indoors, a wide array of impressive museums and galleries can be found in Alexandria. Three of the city's more celebrated collections can be found at The Lyceum: Alexandria's History Museum, George Washington's Mount Vernon and Carlyle House Historic Park. In addition to that trio, other places worth visiting are the Friendship Firehouse, The George Washington Masonic National Memorial, Athenaeum, Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site, and Alexandria Black History Museum

If your schedule allows for it, you may discover that a couple of the nearby sports teams are in town. The most famous organizations (Alexandria Rugby Club and Teen Basketball League) continually deliver large audiences, while the other squads (Titans Track Club, Wahoos Swim Team and Field Hockey) provide serious athletic competition in a fun, kid-friendly settings.

Additional Alexandria-area places to consider include Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town, Hapton Inn & Suites Alexandria Old Town Area South, The Alexandrian Old Town Alexandria, Autograph Collection, and Hilton Alexandria Old Town

Isaiah 45:22-23, NIV, “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

Philippians 3:20-21, NIV, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Dear God, keep us close to you. Govern our minds and hearts so whatever we may do be done in the glory and in honor of our savior Jesus Christ. One who forever reigns the heaven and earth. We will wait for His coming for we believe that we will be renewed and cleansed deserving a citizenship in heaven.
