A Winter Ghost Tour in Old Town

It was a cold winter day, when I got ready to go out for a winter ghost tour, with Nightly Spirits. The meetup location was Chadwicks, a bar with prime Real Estate located on the waterfront. A group of the RSVPs formed and prepared for departure, into the tour guided destinations during the night. This was a walkable blast from the past, through historic Old Town. The tour guide presented with passion, tales explaining some of colonial Virginia's culture, and some of the haunted things that had occurred. Stops included monuments, bars, intersections, buildings, cut through side streets, etc.

Life along the Mount Vernon Bike Path

Athletes, would-be athletes and nature lovers should head south from Old Town Alexandria. Stretching along the Potomac River from the southern border of Old Town to Mount Vernon Estate is the Mt. Vernon bike path.  Eight miles of asphalt allow locals and visitors to walk, run or bike while enjoying river views and wildlife sightings.  Bald eagles, ospreys, blue heron, cormorants, egrets, ducks and geese are among waterfowl commonly spotted along this corridor, while deer, groundhog and fox sightings are frequent.  Combine cardio and conservation by following a nature trail through Dyke Marsh. Along the bike path is a fitness course and several points of access for canoes or kayaks. Businesses in the nearby Belle View shopping center allow you to tone up at Curves or take karate lessons.  Adjacent to Belle View is the Mt. Vernon Recreation Center, which provides Fairfax County residents with an indoor pool and ice rink.  Farther south on Route 1 is a Gold's Gym.
