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

We may truly see through His pain and fully turn against the devil. Thank you Lord for sending down your beloved son to cleanse us through his blood. We may come to live a life where all the things we do and the words we speak is to glorify your name. Strengthen us to always identify and follow a good path, then ignore and resist the bad path. Give us courage and strong will as well to carry our own cross as we take a rocky, difficult and dark road — let us see you. Thereafter, we will walk with Jesus and together we will proclaim your greatness to the whole of the earth. We will all come to you renewed, born again through yo...
