Muahaha!! i bet they won’t ask to follow you then.

Working in the hotel industry for 15 years and traveling as much as I did, I’ll have to say that getting invited to a wedding from a long staying guest/couple who turned into friends was my most memorable one.  The wedding was held at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Alexandria, Virginia and the dinner was at the Ft Myer’s Officers’ Club.  The wedding was beautiful, we stayed at the Sheraton Suites and even tried to get into Jimmy Buffet concert in Union Street.

The day before the wedding rehearsal we were being surprised by a little tour arranged by the hosts, we spent most of the day walking and taking in the sights of Alexandria’s historic waterfront, the architecture of course, and we were immensely pleased that we had food tasting in several restaurants arranged.  A couple of blocks around King Street and near the waterfront offered quite a number of choices.  We tried some Thai food and was very impressed with the Ethiopian fare where the Torpedo Factory Food Pavillion was located.  They even had a Starbucks, and I thought to myself, I could certainly live here.  The old charm and the small community strike me as being a comfortable place to bring up my kids.  The real estate in Alexandria VA seems affordable and I would have checked it out if not for time constraints.

The waterfront was absolutely serene and I would love to spend my evenings there with my kid and my spouse. Persuading me to relocate there is not difficult at all but first I have to find out where DRodio Real Estate is, for I hear they are the experts in the Alexandria, Virginia Area.
